When I was a kid my dad used to call me Imelda because I loved shoes. I still do. I have more pairs of shoes than the average person, but I still want more. Now that I have girls, I love to buy shoes for them too. There are so many cute girly pairs out there, I can't just buy them one or two. Even Sarah, who wears her braces with the same pair of shoes everyday, has several pairs to wear to the few events where she doesn't wear her braces. I can't stop myself.
Amanda has shown a love of shoes as well. She has many and often wears two to three pairs a day, switching every couple of hours. The other night, thanks to the generosity and babysitting expertise of my sister and brother-in-law, Charlie and I were able to go on a date without the kids. As I was getting ready, wearing a brand new pair of shoes, Amanda came up to ask me a question. Then, she looked down and said, "Nice shoes Mommy." Charlie just shook his head and said, "She is your daughter."
Yep, it's in our DNA.
