Air Jordan's

Since Luke was a tiny baby Cory has been itching to get him some Air Jordan shoes. So we decided we would get him some for his first birthday. Cory was way excited and picked them out, it was the highlight present of Luke's birthday for Cory. However, Luke wasn't as excited about them as Cory was. We would put them on him and he wouldn't walk! It was like they were so heavy and he had just started walking, you could just see him thinking... "what the heck are these big clonky things! And you expect me to walk in them??" He finally started walking with them on but it looked like he was walking on the moon - he would take giant big high steps and get frustrated after a minute of trying to walk like this. Cory was pretty disappointed, so after some consoling I convinced him that maybe Luke was too little for Air Jordan's and we could go back and exchange them for a couple sizes bigger and that by summer or fall he would probably be ready for them. So we did the exchange. A few weeks ago Cory pulled out the Jordan's. They are still a size or so big for Luke, but Cory put them on him, and my what a difference 5 months make! Luke LOVES them! The first couple days he was so proud and would constantly want to wear them around the house or wherever he could and would point to them and show everyone. It's cute because I think I told him so many times that daddy got him the shoes that he sometimes points to them and says "dada". The newness has worn off a little but he still loves them and sometimes just insists on wearing them. Like the night in this picture below. He was all ready for bed in his jammies and kind of in a fussy mood and brought me the shoes, so we put them on, and they made him happy.
