sandals

Elijah has an obsession with Dora the Explorer. He wanted to be Dora for Halloween. I struggled with letting him, as I do not want to stifle him and his creativity in any way.....even when it involves dressing up like a girl for one night. But, he did change his mind.

We were at a shoe store yesterday and he spotted these Dora sandals. He desperately wanted to buy them, but I drew the line there. Can you imagine Eli rolling into playgroup wearing gold Dora sandals? BUT, I did let him try them on and of course I had to have proof of this via photos to show him later in life.....really to just embarrass him. :) I love my son!
