Shoes

Finn does not like to wear shoes.
In a perfect world, he'd be barefoot all day.
He has gotten some pretty gnarly cuts, splinters and gashes on his feet because he wont wear shoes outside.
It can often be a problem, but Finn doesnt complain or whine about his wounds.
His mama normally ends up finding out about his injuries because she sees them while he's in the bathtub.

When Finn must wear shoes, he will often put them on his feet without socks.
In the morning when he is getting dressed for school, his mama has to say "Finn, put on your shoes WITH socks."
If she doesnt, Finn will wear his shoes to school without socks.
When Finn doesnt wear socks with his shoes, the shoes he wears get really stinky.
That grosses out his mama.
Finn has two pair of shoes - one blue pair and one brown.
Neither one has shoelaces.
The blue pair has velcro and the brown pair is a slip on shoe.

Finn's idea footwear: flip flops.
He takes after his mama.
Finn has several pairs of flip flops - more pairs than he has shoes.
This weekend when it was raining, Finn wore his flip flops exclusively.
Since he wasnt playing outside, his mama didnt fight him on it.
She picks her battles.
Finn refers to his flip flops as "my flips."
His mama thinks that's cute.


Happy Monday.
