[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get it.  Don't your kids grow? [b] The girl who wears UGGs for two years?  Really?[/b]  My kids change grow 2 shoe sizes in one year.  That's why I buy the $10 and $20 shoes at Target.  They don't need to hold up that long.

As for clothes, I have 2 girls, 3 years apart.  The older one gets all hand me downs from her cousin.  Those get passed down to the younger daughter.  Occasionally if I buy something new, I get it from Children's Place and it usually lasts long enough for both girls to wear.  Not the highest quality, but not expensive if on sale.[/quote]

That is my daughter and, yes, I know it is unusual for a child to wear shoes two years in a row.  She is 9 and her feet seem to grow only every other year.  It is wierd.  She also has tiny feet for her height.  Uggs are kind of different too in that you can wear them a little big and a little small.  The fleece gives them more growing room I guess.  But, you should know that the one thing pediatricians and orthos say you should spend money on is good shoes.  The cheap shoes from Target are not vewry good for their feet.  That said, I doubt $200 Uggs are good for the feet either!  :)

I'm the PP who buys the cheap Target shoes. Just because an ortho says not to buy cheap shoes, you shouldn't?  In the past, every time I've paid $50 for shoes at Stride Rite, my kids have complained that the shoes are digging into their feet.  Maybe it's just my kids who have feet shaped for cheap shoes, but their most comfy shoes have been Target and (GASP!) Payless.[/quote]
