For the past few months Lilly has been attached to two pairs of shoes. These are the only shoes she would wear whether they went with her outfit or not.
So when Easter was getting close Robert and I decided to take Lilly to the store to get her some Easter shoes. The moment we tried to put a sandle on her she screamed so loud that everyone turned their head to look probably thinking "Did that baby just get pinched? Did she fall?" So we lost the battle that day and decided that she would wear her pink chucks with her Easter dress. So a few weekends ago I set out on a journey with Ann to visit a local shoe store in Gatesville and it was the same story but we now have proof of what she did. So to all I told the story to, I wasn't exaggerating when I said my child dislikes shoe shopping. It's almost comical.
Well this weekend Ann and I were determined to get her some new shoes. This time it wasn't a matter of them matching her outfit but about them fitting her feat. The child's feet are growing and she needed new shoes. So we set out on our journey again to StrideRite and faced the fear that Lilly would kick and scream the moment we showed her the shoe. Well, our fears were met and she did just what we thought. She screamed and cried and held on to me so tight. It was so dramatic. Once she calmed down she realized that the shoes were not going to hurt her. We then took her to the playground at the mall to get her mind off what had just happened. She didn't play much, probably because she was traumatized but our mission was accomplished. So thank you Ann for the new shoes and helping me with this task.
Later on that day Ann and Jennifer took Lilly shopping again but this time it was to get some new pink chucks that were larger. All I can say is the girl knows what she wants. :)
