New Shoes

When it comes time to go shoe shopping for the kids, they (the kids) always want to go with Daddy. Why? Because he let’s them get whatever they want, for the younger kids that means character shoes.

Recently Geoff took the oldest four out to get new shoes - and Emeron picked McQueen light-up shoes. Now,...Emeron loves his shoes with all his heart, and so does Jacob. Even though they are Emeron’s shoes, Jacob will carry them around, put them in the box, and even set them by his pillow before going to sleep. All this love Jacob showed for his brother's shoes started to bug Ems a little. So after much contemplation, (about ½ of a second) Daddy took Jacob out to get his own new shoes, thinking that this would help the situation, and you can guess what he came home with…. light-up McQueen shoes.

Now Jacob carries both pairs of shoes around with him and sets both pairs of shoes by his pillow at night. Emeron has decided to put-up with him.

I just took the 3 oldest to get new shoes on Saturday. They were in heaven. "Oh mom, I LOVE my new shoes so much!!!" I had no idea how much my kids love getting new shoes. Or how much it costs to get each 2-3 new pairs! Ouch!!
