nature vs. nurture....it's probably both.


tonight when we came home i finally had my DSW order. i became a shoe-a-holic while working downtown denver at first american. sweet pea was squealing with delight because up to this point boxes in the mail meant more presents for her. let me tell you she was HIGHLY disappointed to realize that not ONE thing in that box was for her. she looked in the box, then in each shoebox again. then she'd take the shoes out. then she looked at me. finally she put her hands down at her sides and her shoulders just sunk with disappointment. and i said "oh honey. i'm so sorry. mommy didn't order any shoes for you. should we go downstairs and see if we can find sweet pea a new pair of shoes?" "ya." so we went downstairs to our stash and found a pair of shoes i bought her MONTHS ago and they didn't fit tight enough to wear for more than 5 minutes. actually, it was this pair of shoes. after days of trying, i gave up and went to stride right to get her fitted because NO other pair of shoes fit her teeny tiny foot. i'm not sure if her love of shoes stems from her momma or from her being a girl, and girls just love shoes.
