Loud shoes

So Sydni has this obsession with heels...or "loud shoes" as she calls them. She asks me every morning "Are you wearing your loud shoes today, Momma?". She has 2 pair of play heels she wears around but her new faves are these white dress shoes that were passed down from cousin Matilda (which automatically makes them gold to Sydni anyway!). They aren't "real" heels but they do have a little heel on them. The main thing is they are LOUD on the floor. So she can stomp around and thinks shes very big. But the things are way too small for her. They were starting to leave marks on her feet! So the 4 of us set out for new loud shoes for her. We finally found some at Shoe Carnival of all places. I must say that kids shoe sizes are SO weird. Some she wears a 10 others she needs at least a 12. Anyway, shes happy with her new shoes and Mom is happy that her feet won't be torn apart anymore.

While I am on the subject, she also is crazy about this particular red and white striped shirt. I got it for her at the beginning of fall so again it is TOO SMALL. I refuse to let her wear it to school anymore but AS SOON as we get home she pulls it out (even from the dirty clothes...grrr) And she must wear jeans too. This is very important. So you can imagine the sight of her at home....in old ripped jeans, this faded short striped shirt and her loud shoes. She looks so trashy BUT so happy.
