We have a problem in our house.  A serious battle is being waged, and the stakes are escalating every day.
I love shoes.  I really love baby shoes.  They are a-freaking-dorable.
Jack, on the other hand, hates baby shoes.  HATES them.
Right now, we have a great collection of adorable baby shoes:  little tennies, moccasins, sandals, Van's, cowboy boots, and everything in between.  They are sitting on his dresser, unworn.  In other words, Jack is winning.  
Whenever I wedge a shoe onto his protesting little foot, I try to give him praise and encouragement: "What a handsome baby!  You look so grown up in that sweet shoe!"  And in turn, he'll curl his little lip into a scowl that evolves into a "waaaah" before escalating to a full-on OMGMYFEETAREONFIRE scream.  This is especially fun in public, where all passersby clearly think I'm breaking his ankles.
I can't help myself.  Jack got a new pair of shoes on Sunday.  They are black and purple, with little skulls.  He'd look so badass if he'd just quit crying.

Picky, picky. (:
Besides, why wear something when you can nom nom nom on it instead? That's Jack's motto.
