shoe size? nope

[celticdragonfly]

Jamie's been having some serious clumsiness problems lately. He seems to be tripping over his own feet a LOT, and has fallen downstairs twice lately. (No significant injuries.)

We recently got Maggie new shoes, and found yes, her feet had grown. So we were wondering if maybe that was the problem, maybe his shoes were too short and that was causing him trouble.

So tonight after Kids' club I took him to a shoe store and asked them to check his size. They said he measures at a 9 1/2, so if we bought new shoes we should probably buy size 10 to give him some wiggle room, and oh, he needs wides.

The shoes he's currently wearing? Size 9 1/2 wide.

So no, that's NOT the problem.

This may be an overly obvious question, but have his eyes changed again? That's one of the first warning signs I get when it's time for new glasses... the astigmatism's all wrong and I start walking into walls and tripping over stuff. Or if his glasses are bent or crooked, that might be causing problems.

Or does he maybe have an ear infection or fluid in his inner ear that's causing dizziness?

I hope you guys can figure it out. Falling down all the time's no fun. Poor guy.

IS he shooting up in height, even if his feet haven't got bigger?
