Sleeping with Shoes

Last night at bedtime Ethan put on his shoes and decided he wanted to sleep with them on. Initially, I said "no bubby...let's take off your shoes for night-night". He protested...."no mama...shoes....peas (please)....shoooooeeeeeesssss". So I decided to pick my battles and let him sleep with his shoes on - what's it going to hurt to sleep with shoes on for one night? Well, tonight he's currently sleeping in his rubber boots. I wonder if this is a phase? If so, it's a cute phase. I got a picture of him last night sound asleep in his shoes and intend to get a picture tonight too. Oh, the funny things toddlers do!
