Celine Dion's 2-year-old son, Nelson, loves high heels just like his mom, who boasts over 3,000 pairs of shoes for the toddler to play with.

Katie Couric interviewed Dion earlier this week.  She traveled to Las Vegas and spent the whole day with Dion at the Palms recording studio, according to the Katie Couric website.

During the interview, she explained how her addiction to shoes got passed down to her little boy.

"I go to the store, and I'm like, 'I really like those ones,' and they're like, 'What size?' And I'm like, 'Oh no, you don't understand. I want them, so what size do you have? I'll make it work, baby. I'll make it work!' From 5 to 10, it works," Dion told Couric, according to the Huffington Post.

Dion also admitted that she lets her son pick out a pair of her shoes and then wear them around the house, according to the Examiner.

"[Nelson] looks better in heels that me.  I don't know how he does it, but I'm not the only one in the family who loves shoes, believe me," Dion joked to Couric, according to the Inquisitr.

She shared a picture of her little boy dressed in a red checkered blazer, gray trousers and a pair of her much too big, three-inch-tall black heels, according to Daily Mail.

When Couric asked her how many pairs of shoes she has, Dion just replied, "I stopped counting because I'm not very good at math... I told you that," Daily Mail reports.

"Some people do drugs ... I buy shoes," she told Vanity Fair last year in a different interview, according to The Christian Post.

Although Nelson has a twin bother named Eddy, Nelson seems to be the only one who has picked up his mother's love affair with shoes, according to the Examiner.

Dion and her husband and manager, René Angélil, 69, tried for years to get pregnant and suffered a miscarriage before they conceived 12-year-old Rene-Charles and little Nelson and his brother came along about a decade later, according to the Inquisitr.  This is likely part of the reason why they don't make a big fuss over his wearing heels if he wants to.

"We're normal people as well, we have our struggle," Dion told Couric in the interview.
