Immeasurably More

How can something as small as these:



be SO annoying!?! Last year I bought the same pair for Riley and they were wonderful! He kept them on his feet and when they would get dirty I would either wash them in the sink or with a fresh wipe.

Now in the throes of toddlerhood, Riley has decided that he wants to kick them off every single time we get in the car. To him it is a game. To me it is a waste of my time and extremely irritating.

He has also decided that if he is wearing these shoes outside and gets any type of dirt, sand, grass, etc... in them then they are now "dirty" and he can no longer keep them on his feet. As you can tell by looking at the picture there are numerous holes/openings, so dirt, sand, grass, etc... find their way into the shoes constantly.

I am debating between never leaving the house again and finding some type of shoe that is impossible to remove. This one looks like a possibility:




At least if Riley wore these I would have about 15 minutes to get somewhere before he managed to take them off!
