This is our fifth child, "Buddy Boy." He is just a few months shy of being a fully independent two-year-old. As with most children his age, he is pretty sure that he knows what is best, and we, as his parents, don't have a clue. Actually, does that condition ever go away for kids?
Part of Buddy's all-knowing wisdom includes the fact that he must be wearing shoes at all times. And not just any shoes; no, they have to be the right shoes. Although he owns more than one pair, the only ones that will do are his church shoes, which he calls "shoe-on." He has decided that his "shoe-on" goes with every outfit, to include pajamas. Because seriously, would pajamas look good with tennis shoes? Of course not! No, only a nice pair of black shoes with a fake buckle (velcro, of course) will work with pajamas. And although his pajama top may not match the pajama bottoms, he just wouldn't feel right without his "shoe-on."
Buddy Boy's "Shoe-On"
And when we say he has to ALWAYS wear his shoes, we are talking ALWAYS! Including to bed. He will scream and shout if we try to put him to bed without his shoes on. So if you think it looks uncomfortable to sleep all night with your shoes on, that is just further evidence of the fact that you just aren't as wise and all-knowing as an almost-two-year-old!

Sam only wants to wear church shoes too!!! Obviously since there are two two year-olds with the same opinion, there must be something to it.
hahaha! I am laughing so hard. No one in my family likes wearing shoes. When I get home they are the first thing to go. We put the boys shoes on in the car because every time we get in the car, that's where they take them off!
And of course I know from first hand knowledge that it doesn't really matter if they are on the correct feet as long as they are on.
I love it! I don't love that he's so big and that kids keep growing even when they move away.
More pictures of baby girl please?
ha! love this. my two year old boy is also obsessed with shoes, but isn't quite as picky... any shoes will do, although he definitely prefers snow boots.
