Yesterday Mom bought Charles some new shoes. Based on our experiences last time Mom didn’t plan on explicitly changing his shoes. It was enough of a struggle to get him to try any on at the store. As a result Mom just brough them home and, after Charles was asleep, the old shoes were hidden. Mom also got new shoes in the exact style as the old shoes. Everything went well, Charles was put in to his new shoes without any particular comment and he doesn’t seem to have noticed the change. Score one for Mom!
