Can shoes cause balance issues?
In my "Welcome to toddlerhood" post, I mentioned that James has been off-balance for a few days.
I mentioned it to my sitter this morning and she thinks that his sneakers might be too tight and that's what's causing his balance issues. He's wearing a 4.5, should I get him a pair of 5's and see what happens? 
He does have a well-visit this afternoon and I'll be sure to check that his ears are clear....

Re: Can shoes cause balance issues?
Never heard of it, but any pair of shoes that don't fit right can cause some discomfort in walking.
Have you had his feet measured? I had to get Mason's b/c he has fat feet. Went to Nordstroms and they did it there. Got a couple of pairs of Striderite and he's fine in them. I think he's a size 5.
I'd get them measured and it doesn't hurt to ask the ped as well.
Miss you V!!!

Miss you too! And now it's MY turn to owe you a phone call! The PT came the second you and I hung up the other day.
I'll have to get him measured. The last time he was measured was at the end of the summer and he was a 4 back then. He actually has pretty small (and SMELLY!  ) feet.
