Impracticality

I came home from Khol's the other night with the most random of purchases. I bought these boots for Wyatt which he ADORES and once I tried them on him at the store refused to take them off. For myself, I got these lovely brown pumps for $12. Read it and weep ladies, $12. Both of these purchases are entirely idiotic for two reasons; Wyatt cannot walk in his boots and I cannot walk in these heels. However, I couldn't seem to help myself. I guess I have a shoe fetish.

Wyatt fell in love with his boots as soon as he saw the Lightning McQueen on the box. Lightning is the main character in Cars, for those who don't know, and for which Wyatt lives and breathes. I have humiliatingly been reduced to sleeping with a Lightning fleece blanket on my bed while Wyatt is clad head to toe in Car's pajamas. In order to get him to try on the boots, that I was doomed to buy, I told him that they would help him run really fast in the snow. The result was he now thinks he needs to run in his boots ALL THE TIME. The funny part it that Wyatt's running is really moving at the same speed as walking but moving your legs extra fast. I am pretty positive that they are not waterproof and barely insulated which for snow boots is pathetic. We are going to try them out for Christmas tree cutting on Sunday. Lets hope his feet stay dry or that there is no snow.

For someone who barely ever wears heels, I have an awful lot of them in my closet. Its my secret frivolous purchase. I go boot shopping almost every winter. I specifically stear clear of DSW because I know I will spend too much money, regret it later but refuse to return anything. Despite my shoe options, I usually only wear my well-loved Converse. Well, it looks like Wyatt shares my shoe obsession because as soon as he saw my new brown heels on the table he wanted to try them on. He clopped around the house like that for a good 15 minutes. Below, is a little clip of Wyatt testing out his running boots outside the other day.
