Shoes

Stian has had a serious hatred of shoes. He likes his little soft soled leather ones just fine, but hard soled shoes are pure evil. Every time we tried to put them on him there was much screaming and crying and general fit throwing. We tried different kinds, we tried rewards (going outside to ride his bike if he has his shoes on), we tried distraction. Nothing worked. He hated them, and he let us know.

I put them in his daycare bag and told them they could try putting them on him, but I didn't expect much. Well last week I went to pick Stian up at school and he was wearing his shoes. And he was just playing. Like it was nothing! Apparently he had had them on most of the day! Yay! Finally!

We put them on him again this evening and he didn't throw a fit at all. And off he went running around!



It was such a beautiful evening, so we played outside for awhile after dinner.
