Kid's shoes

Shoe choices for kids today are as varied as all other choices. The variety is sure to appease everyone. Only about 1% are actual traditional "sneakers" with laces.
Up until November, Jared had no preference for shoes. So, I have always gotten a nice understated brown or blue shoe. Then he spotted firetruck shoes that lit up. His eyes lit up just as much. There was no chance we were leaving without these fire truck shoes. When he got home he spent the day hugging his fire truck shoes. They weren't the nice subtle shoes I was hoping for, but they brought him so much happiness.



Well, it was time for the fire truck shoes to drive off to the shoe graveyard. Back we go to the shoe store. Jared is very excited. He now knows the excitement of new shoes. It doesn't take long before Jared and I spot the shoe at the same time. He is so excited he an hardly contain himself. It take all my energy to pretend I am equally excited, all the while mentally cringing. I instantly know this will be the shoe we leave with:



So long to understated shoes.
