Like father like son

In the hot weather we had recently we struggled to get Elias to wear anything but his trainers. He has sandals but he refuses to wear them. He has also inherited a pair of shoes that I wore as a child that he can accept but they aren't any good in case he wants to play in water. For some time we have though about getting him a pair of crocs and we have finally gotten around to buying them. Luckily he seems to love them! Don't know if it is because it has a picture of a crocodile on them or because daddy has a pair too...
