Well, not new new, but new for Grant. Not sure why both of my children are so finicky about their shoes, but they decide they like a pair and it is the ONLY pair that they will wear. There is no need for sandals, dress shoes, etc in this house. We need to settle on one pair and then hope we can find them in the next size up.
Grant had a really hard time giving up his Robeez. Long after he was walking (and running) he refused to part with them. I let him wear down his last pair this winter and then we had to get through the ugly transition.... He held on long enough that he fit into his Thomas the Tank Engine boots. They are rain boots, but he adored them.
He adored them so much he literally shredded them. Fairly sure that rain boots are not designed to be worn daily, all day long. But so be it. They were well loved little boots. And he was devastated when they fell apart.
It was a battle, but I think we've made it through....
We must decorate them with Thomas stickers, but it's a small price to pay for another baby step into boyhood for this one.
Adorable! I wish Jake would be happy with one pair! He insists on changing his shoes 4-5 times per day!!!!
