First Pair Of Favorite Shoes

Owen got some new water shoes the other day.  Apparently, these are now our FAVORITE shoes.  A couple nights ago, Owen found them after his bath and wanted to put them on over his pajamas.  Then, he never wanted to take them off.  He wanted to wear them during story time.  And yes, he wanted to wear them to bed.  I tried to take them off and he cried and pleaded with me to let him wear them.  It was the saddest, most desperate cry I have heard yet.  It's hard to convey in writing, but it sounded something like, "MAMA, SHOES? PEESE? SHOES? MAMA! MAMA! SHOOOOES! PEEEEEEESE! MAAAAAMA! SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!"  All with big tears and puppy dog eyes. 

Yes, he slept with the shoes on that night (until midnight when I went in and took them off.)
