I had the sweetest time with my daughter today. Last night I realized that the only thing that we needed to complete her Easter dress was the shoes. Not knowing weather or not I should take her with me to purchase shoes, I decided she should try them on. Paige has never been in a shoe store. As soon as we opened the front door of the Payless Shoe Source my daughter took off running. I could not believe my eyes it was almost like she knew right where to go. She walked over to the children's section and in a matter of five minutes she had selected three or four pair of shoes that she was asking me if she could take them home with her. (At this point nothing actually fits but I don't think that she cared). After carefully directing her to the section of the store that had her size Paige began again to take many different colors and styles of shoes off the shelve and put them on her feet as she said "Oh mommy I NEED these" and "Daddy is going to think I'm so pretty in these" and "I love Dora shoes mommy." and "Mommy look at the pink ones they so pretty" I looked down on the floor of this store and my three year old is "scooping" up as many pair of shoes that her little arms can handle and saying PLEASE MOMMY, DADDY SAID YES!!!!!! After I regain my composer I inform my daughter that she can get one pair for Easter and one pair of sandals. Her eyes light up and she selects her shoes and proceeds to take my hand and head for the purses. "Mommy look a Dora purse!" I proceed to inform her she will have to ask daddy about that, and that we need to be heading for the checkout. That baby just kills me she knows how to hold that purse just like a 30 year old lady. We got home form the shoe store and she went straight to her room and put on a necklace. I personally have never been into shoes. I don't know where she gets it. Ok I will admit I LOVE purses and handbags but shoes (not really). I just love having a girly girl. I now that we have many fun years to come. Her poor daddy is in financial trouble and he doesn't even realize it.
Last night in Kings Kids we had so much fun. We acted out the Death, Burial and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our very own Zack played Jesus and it was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. (I will post pictures if I can). I'm thankful for being able to serve in the Kings Kid Program. It is a real blessing.
Minor prayer request:
My daycare mom called and said that she thinks that she found my camera. I pray that when I see her tomorrow that it is the right camera. If she has found it a her house I will have to do a happy dance.

What a precious story about Paige and her shoes. She really is such a delightful little girl. I sure hope you have found your camera!
Ahhh, the joy of shoes! I'm with Paige on this one! I couldn't care less about clothes or purses...but shoes...just reading your story made my heart skip a beat! A pretty shoe is a work of art - LOL!
I am glad that Paige is a girly-girl -- how fun! Did you find your camera?
