We all know that Claire loves all things girly. She loves make-up, she loves dresses (dress-up, casual or church), she loves fake nails, she loves finger nail polish, she loves jewelry, she loves pink and purple and glitter....and she loves high heels. I've written about one of her favorite activities being trying on and walking around in my high heels. Her favorite dress-up shoes are high heels. She loves them so much that even when she had a light sprained ankle she tried to hobble around in her high heel dress-up shoes.Well, these bad boys are not dress-up shoes. They are the real deal. They are Claire's new church shoes. And she is in heaven. I gave in on our recent shopping trip together. All night she kept saying, "my first pair of REAL high heels, they are not dress-up, they are real shoes!"
Side note on high heels-when I was about Claire's age I had a friend that lived in the next cul-de-sac over. My favorite thing to do with her was to go to her house because in her garage was where they kept their shoes. And her mom had a million high heel shoes!! We would spend hours playing house, date, and shopping while wearing the highest, strappiest shoes. When we were done her mom would fix us a glass of milk and graham crackers.
Like mother, like daughter.

This all explains why Claire was so over-the-top happy as she sat by me in church wearing her heels. They are perfect on her. She was just radiating happiness.
Cute memory of yours from when we lived in Walnut Creek. :)
and kinda spooky-- that cul-de-sac was named langford, I mean, Longford Ct. Hmmm.. It's interesting to see how much the names of our childhood streets influence our decisions as adults... :-)
