Stay-at-Home Slippers

I must have bought these about seven years ago, right around the time my son was born. They're not much to look at (they never were), but I wore them constantly while he was younger — less so when we were doing less staying-at-home and more getting out to various therapy appointments, and then to preschool. They spent many years hidden under the bureau in my bedroom, but I rediscovered them over the past year or so and quickly adopted them as something comfortable to wear while working.

Of course, you'd never know that, given the wear they've experienced. (You can't tell from the photograph, but I'd worn enormous holes in the front of both.)

I finally bought a new pair this morning. We'll see if these last another seven years...
