Corwin is becoming quite the shoe hound. He’s been bugging Mom for a couple of weeks about needing a new pair of shoes. He’s bugged us about new shoes before but he was more insistent this time.
So, this evening, due to some car issues I ended up taking the van in to pick up Mom and Alice at the office. Mom decided that it would be best to go out for pizza. As it turns out, our pizza place is right next to the children’s shoe store. Corwin actually remembered this before we got there and insisted that we take a look to see if they were open. As we pulled up, Corwin announced “the lights are on!” and yes, they were open.
In previous outings, Corwin has insisted on buying the first pair of shoes that fit. This time, however, he tried on five pair of shoes and went with the last pair. He certainly doesn’t get that kind of behaviour from me.
Even more oddly, Corwin picked shoes with laces. He’s avoided those for quite some time, but he confirmed multiple times that he was willing to learn how to tie his shoes. We’ll see how long he holds to that plan. On the other hand, Corwin has been much better about getting ready in the morning so we need something to take up the time.
