Why do kids' feet grow so big, while it takes the rest of their body quite a while to catch up? My soccer/basketball player wears shoes just a shade smaller than mine. Every day, he looks taller than he did the day before.
His little brother is just a year-and-a-half younger, but he hasn't started his major growth spurt yet. Earlier this year, the boys were close enough in height some people mistook them for twins.
No one would do that now. His back-to-school need was a sweatshirt, and we found a cheap one at an Army surplus store in the Haight.
BTW, in case you do not hang around the young set, styles continue to move in cycles. Therefore, for boys, long hair is b-a-c-k! I knew mine were letting their red locks grow long this summer, but I didn't realize that virtually everyone else was too.
It took attending my first soccer practice the other day to see that, around here at least, it couldn't have been a good summer for the hair salons that cater to kids.
My third shopper didn't need anything, but wanted almost everything she saw. We settled on a ring.
