I spent almost every minute of the day (after drop off) looking for Luke Skywalker boots for George. I have been to every Marshall, Target, Ross and Payless shoes in the area. I have learned that Payless is by far the most expensive and smells the worst (it smells like a really powerful rubber that I know is messing with my brain cells). I found no boots or none for less than $40.
It was a lot of effort, but he didn't ask for much for his birthday so I felt that I at least needed to find the darn boots for the costume. Daddy can work his magic and convince George that any shoes he is wearing (particularly my leopard slippers which have been the shoes of most of his superheroes) are THE GREATEST LUKE SHOES EVER (as he has with George during many other costuming crises), but this time I felt that they should be...
So I looked up Luke shoes online. $440 for a real pair. A real pair of Luke boots? He's not real. How can he have real boots? Maybe Daddy will need to work his magic after all...
Cole won't be convinced as George can be. Cole has an image, and we all must conform. George also has an image, but at first he is curious and will listen to Daddy (Cole will eventually listen too). He'll then not want to hurt anyone's feeling, and Daddy is putting out a lot of energy. After which he'll relinquish his old image because this new one Daddy is conjuring is pretty darn cool.
This sounds alright, you know? George adapts and moves on. This will serve this Jedi well. Maybe it's me that has the image... not of a particular pair of boots, but of George just feeling strong and happy and powerful at the first birthday party he has actually cared about...
I bought them 2 minutes ago on ebay. $9.99. Cheaper than Target. Whew.
Now I just hope they get here in time.
I have been such Star Wars fan since I was eight years old and now my children are too, not so much but still. I was wondering the other day if I could purchase a nice pair of Luke Skywalter boots for my son, now I know I can!
thanks so much for your post, I will go check eBay right now! :)

This is incredible when we're looking for something and we can't get it, I felt really identify with this specially because it's related to boots that's my fascination.
