DS1 loves having his feet measured.
But when new shoes are mentioned, he runs away.
The only shoes he will even entertain going on his feet are "brown shoes" and even then, they're often "too tricky" for him.
He likes his old shoes. Ones we struggled to get him to put on, obv.
And they don't make them like that any more. Well, they make them in blue. And red. But he wants brown. And only brown.
"No, Mummy, I want my old shoes. Those new ones have a twisted strap" (it's a cross-over zig-zaggy one, so obv the work of Satan).
He won't believe me that his feet will one day soon be too big for his old shoes... He grinned and shook his head wryly at his fool mother for suggesting such a thing.
