Finally . . . New Shoes

All I can get on my son's feet are crocs. Seriously - he wants nothing else but his crocs! Now that the weather is turning cold, we have been wearing crocs with socks (that sounds a little Dr. Seussish to me). I finally ordered him a real pair of shoes which arrived yesterday. When the "present" arrived, Mark and I made a big deal of his new shoes - how they would make him run faster and jump higher. He kept repeating "new shoes" hurt, and he hadn't even tried them on yet!!!! So he went to bed without trying them on, and I decided that I will deal with this battle in the morning. We had friends over this morning and headed outside to play in the HUGE amount of leaves in our backyard, so it was time for the new shoes. Maybe because he had friends over or maybe it was a little help from the shoe fairy, but he sat down and let me put them on without a fuss. He then ran around saying, "new shoes fun, yeah!" So of course we had to take a picture . .
