Little Boys and Cowboy Boots

Tweet

My grandson ripped out his sneakers tonight. I told him that we would go shopping for a new pair after we finished dinner. He was thrilled with the idea of getting a new pair of sneakers. After dinner was over we drove to Walmart. My hubby told us that we were to go in, find the sneakers, and leave. Well, I can't get into a store and near shoes without looking at some for myself! That is the first thing I did. My grandson was growing impatient with me and grabbed my arm to lead me in the direction of shoes for him. The first thing he spied was Cowboy boots. He tossed his nasty sneakers aside and donned the boots. I told him that they would not be comfortable shoes for him to wear and they would most likely cause him to have blisters. My husband chuckled as he watched our grandson parade around in the boots. My grandson proclaimed that the boots were very comfy and he loved them! He put the boots back on the shelf and tried on 2 pair of sneakers. His gaze traveled back to the Cowboy boots. We finally talked him into a pair of sneakers that lit up when he walked. As we passed by the Cowboy boots, he pleaded with us to buy them for him. My hubby got him out of the shoe department and headed for the toy department. I headed for the boys clothing to check on some other much needed items. I found the "boys" checking out the bikes. Hubby took down a great looking bike for my grandson and had him "try" it out. He followed him around the aisles and made sure that he didn't run into anyone or anything. As I continued to the shampoo aisle I could hear my grandson's voice saying how awesome the bike was and asking Opa if he was going to buy it for him. We managed to get to the checkout without any toys or other items that we really didn't need and headed for home. Hubby got a chuckle out of how much our grandson wanted those Cowboy boots. I told him that if they were there later this week I would pick them up for him. What young boy doesn't dream of owning a pair of Cowboy boots?
