Fashion Footwear

Andrew started talking about light-up sneakers a couple of weeks ago when his BFF Barrett rolled into preschool sporting a pair.  Today I caved and bought him a pair of truly ugly Lightening McQueen (or as Andrew calls him, Lightnin the Queen) sneakers with red lights. 

He has not stopped jumping, admiring them, and asking when he can go to school to show them to Barrett since we got home from the store.  He carefully placed them them next to his bed for his afternoon rest.  He colored a picture of them.  He took several photos of them with my phone (below).  As I read him a story this afternoon, he interjected "I wish my hands lit up" while staring wistfully at his hands.

His obsession with these god-awful shoes is so endearing I am finding them less and less ugly as the day goes on.
