One might wonder why is there a picture of Brady's tennis shoes on the blog. Well, here's the story. For those of you who do not know, Grandpa Terry has an obsession with New Balance tennis shoes and couldn't wait to be the one to buy Brady his first pair of New Balance tennis shoes. These shoes have quickly become Brady's favorites. Fast forward to today's date when we took Brady to IKEA for a little shopping and eating.
After shopping, we decided to treat Brady to lunch at IKEA. This is not our idea of fine dining, but this is the highlight of Brady's day. The kid is hooked on the meatballs. We were about to put Brady in his high chair at the table, when Amy glanced down and noticed there was something missing...one shoe to be exact. The panic set in as we had lost one of Brady's favorite shoes and realized someone would have to tell Grandpa Terry what had happened. For those of you who have not shopped at IKEA, finding a little toddler shoe there is comparable to finding a needle in a haystack.
Don't worry. This story has a happy ending. I guess the New Balance "angel" led us down the search and rescue path because there sitting on a pile of rugs was Brady's lonely shoe. Now the pair has been reunited, and Brady is passed out on the couch after a hard day of shopping and near catastrophe.
