. . . And it was time to replace Luke's crocs. Crocs are hands down his absolute all time favorite shoes. Last year's pair are too small and worn out.
We visited the Crocs mega kiosk and Luke chose his favorite style and took them for a test stroll. Awesomeness.
The teenage croc employee asked if he'd like some adornments for his crocs. I cannot remember the trademarked name. Giblets? Surely their not named after poultry innards. Anyway, I've seen many of Luke's buddies sporting these gibblety things so I thought and opportune time to introduce them to Luke. A good conversation starter for him with his friends.
That's Donald and Tweetie Bird. I'm fairly certain he'd never seen Tweetie until selecting his Giblets (I could seriously google and see what they're actually called, but I'm kind of amusing myself calling them giblets. It doesn't take much.) So now he knows Tweetie. Bonus!
As we're paying the helpful employee asked if I would like him to install the giblets on the shoes. Well, sure. Luke selected where he'd like them to be placed. I get out my wallet, make sure Lamar's eyes are on Luke while he prances around the kiosk (Luke was prancing, not Lamar, but I'm totally laughing imagining Lamar prancing around at the mall), and see I have a message on my phone. Despite all the distractions, I notice the giblet installation requires a little effort so I ask, "Now how do these come off?" He explains it's kind of like a button. He said, "He won't be able to get them off if that's what you're worried about." I say, "Oh heavens no! He doesn't have the fine motor to remove those. I just need to make sure I can do it when he freaks about them and decides they must come off immediately." I started to relay the candy cane reindeer antler car decoration story, but thought better of it.
He's pretty proud and so far completely into the giblets.
