Blue Crocs

For the past several weeks John Parker will not depart from his blue crocs!!! It all started one night when he was getting ready for bed. After his bedtime story, prayers, and the hugs and kisses exchanged between the two of us, I tucked him in and left his room. Jeremy and I were in the living room watching a little t.v. when I heard a door slam shut. Of course, I knew exactly where it came from-John Parker's room. I walked into his room only to find that the blue crocs were now on his feet, not in the closet! He was adamant about sleeping in his bed with those shoes on. Being the "push over" mom that I was, I said, "Sure! What can it hurt?" Well, that one night of wearing his shoes to bed has turned into MANY nights. Needless to say, he doesn't go to bed without them. After his bath, he immediately finds his blue crocs and puts them on his cute feet!! We have tried to hide the crocs so he won't wear them to bed, but he begins to cry until he and his beloved shoes have been reunited. We aren't sure how long this will last, but it is just a matter of time before he outgrows the crocs or wears them out completely. I jokingly say that we need the shoes bronzed since it is a huge part of John Parker's life. You would think that they are best friends. Between the blue crocs and the pappy, I am not sure which one takes more precedence! With this being said, I thought that I would share a few pictures I took the other day of him running around with his jersey, pappy, pull-up, and his infamous blue crocs. {The second picture is "hazy" due to the smoke from Jeremy's grill!!}
