Normal Shoes

Lizzy has been wearing these dress-up shoes everywhere she goes this week. It's easier to let her wear them than to argue with her (even though the temperature has not been above zero for days).

This morning, we were rushing to get the big kids to school on time. While Lizzy was putting her coat on, I put her shoes on the steps for her. But because it was my idea, she didn't want these shoes today:

Lizzy: "Mom, why you making me wear these fancy shoes? My want normal shoes!"
Me: "Lizzy, we're in a hurry. Please just wear those shoes."
Lizzy: "Ok, but my really wish my could wear normal shoes. You so mean."

I can't win!
