Shoes

Last week at Target I found these for my Lightning McQueen obsessed son:

They were on clearance for $2.43, so I bought them.  I bought them in a size bigger than he is now so they will fit him over the summer.  When we got home, I put them in the closet and told him that he could have them in the spring.

On Sunday at church, he drew a picture of boy with a frown.

“This is me,” he said.

“Why are you sad?” I asked.

“Because I want my Lightning shoes,” he responded.  Then he started writing letters all over the picture.

{I was going to scan in the picture but I can’t find it.  I must have thrown it away in my “destroy all piles” mode yesterday.  Imagine, if you will, a brown crayon drawing of a large circle head, a stick figure (with a body) with really long arms, two dot eyes and a huge frown.  No clothes.  No hair.  I suggested ears and he drew one line going up and one line going down (like Zurg’s!).  With little three year old letters all around it.}

Instead, I’ll share this goodie of him at the beach last summer:
