Mama, need these!

Rhys wears orthodics. These are plastic (?) inserts for his shoes. They help to turn his toes outward, keep him from dragging his right foot and they will give him an arch. The kid has some issues. They do not fit in all of his shoes, but they fit very well in his brown boots.

Today was very nice, mid 50's. Tracy decided that Rhys needed to wear tennis shoes. She grabbed the shoes and tried to get Rhys to come over so she could put them on. He refused. He went and grabbed his boots and said "No Mama, need these!" Right he was. Need them he does. Orthodics she pulled. (It helps if you say the above sentences in Yoda's voice).

It is odd to have him thinking for himself and acting on it.
