New Shoes

Yesterday at the store we finally bought Will some new shoes. His old shoes are in fine shape, but they were getting too small for him. They didn't have much variety in the boys shoes, but Joel picked some out that he thought were okay, and I spotted these super cool Lightning McQueen shoes. Joel kind of rolled his eyes and took Will to try on the shoes he picked out. I was looking at the prices, and noticed the shoes Joel picked were light up shoes. Ha! Joel would never buy light up shoes for our kids. When I pointed out this detail Joel took the shoes right back and we tried on the Cars shoes. When I showed them to Will his eyes lit right up. Cars is his favorite movie! Aren't they super cool!?

A close up of the shoes (Will was holding his pants up so you could see all of the shoe, his pants weren't actually all high-water like that) :)

His shoes make him happy. The eyes on the front even glow in the dark! Yesterday he told both Joel and I this story separately, "I was in the bathroom and the lights were off and I couldn't see. So I just told my shoes what to do and they did it!" I'm guessing that means they lit his way in the dark?

Then this morning when we were getting ready I asked him to go get his shoes on, and he said, "Lightning McQueen shoes, here I come!" (If you've seen cars, you'll get the reference). He's so funny.
