Baby needs new shoes...

So, I've been really needing to go get Asher some new shoes, and we finally did last night. We took him to pick some out. It was a hard choice. There were Spiderman shoes, Buzz Lightyear shoes, and Lightning McQueen shoes. How's a boy to decide?! The best part of all was that they lit up when you stomped your feet. Asher was very pleased. I always thought those light up shoes to be somewhat obnoxious, but when it's your own kid getting so thrilled with it that they can't stop smiling... suddenly it's not so annoying as it is adorable.

So, ultimately he picked the Lightning McQueen shoes, then I picked him a second pair of handsome brown shoes, sans flashing lights or animated characters. Next came bedtime and Asher thought we had lost our minds when we wanted him to take off his new shoes. So, we let him sleep in them thinking we'd sneak in later and take them off if we needed to. When I peeked in later he and his new shoes seemed to be doing just fine. I risked waking him up with the flash to take a picture then left him alone.

The next morning at about 7:30 there was a strange thumping sound. Was it our upstairs neighbors? Odd, just a little thump every 20 seconds or so. A little while later Caleb was awake and I went in to get him. When I walked into the room Asher said "Oh hi, Mom. Watch this." He then stomped his little foot on the wall and watched the beautiful light show that followed.
