Imelda Marcos in Training...

Holy Cow. Mom and I just took Karah shoe shopping, and MAN, that girl loves shoes!! We turned down the shoe isle at Target and her eyes just lit up and she gave a delighted gasp. And that was when she was still in the basket! I can't even describe her euphoria when we let her out to look at and TRY ON the shoes! She is definitely Megan's relative, because she made a beeline for the infamous "hideous purple shoes" and kept going back to them. Anytime we'd give her a new shoe to try on, she'd squeal and run to us. Sometimes that was the only way to get her to stop modeling the shoes for the other shoppers. Mom and I were constantly giggling at this little girl's shoe fettish. She had so much energy, and it was nice that Jayden and Daddy were having their own adventure elsewhere in the store. We were looking at shoes for 45 minutes, and finally Mom and I had to call it a night. That child was still going strong, looking for any and every shoe she didn't get to try yet. We had to stick her in the basket, buckle her in, and then put a new pair of shoes on her feet to get her to think about calming down. In the end, Karah chose her own new tennis shoes. They have Cinderella, Belle, and Sleeping Beauty on them. (Anyone surprised?) It was a tough decision for her, though...there was a pair of pink shimmery-type shoes that she ran around in for a while and seemed to like a lot. The final choice was between those two, and the Princesses won out. I just hope we got them big enough to last a while so Mom and I have time to recouperate!!
