Character Shoes.

You know, before I became I Mom, I really believed I would never purchase shoes with characters or that light up. I always thought they were dorky, cheap, cheesy and just not cool.

I made it 3 years and 9 days. Today, as we were searching for shoes for Landon (all of a sudden NONE of his fit!) he spotted Thomas and Cars shoes. He was excited! Me? Not so much. Until I saw the awe and excitement on his face. Everything changed and in a flash I could not wait to put those dorky, uncool shoes on his feet.

My kid is sportin' sneaks with Lightning McQueen AND they light up when he walks/runs. He is happy. Believe it or not, these things are actually very well made. Perfect for play shoes.

Tell me, what kinds of things did you say you would never let your kids have and have since changed your mind?
