All Girl

Rebekah has a new love affair: shoes, hairclips, and bags! It all started when she got a whole box full of "new" shoes from cousin Belen. She carried them around for a few days, but they were all just enough too big that I put them up in a box thinking we would need them in a month or two. As if she heard me think it, within 2 weeks she had grown into the new shoes. She was so delighted with these little black dress shoes. She has never been one to leave shoes on for too long, but loves to play "shoe store" and is constantly taking them off and trying to put them back on (which usually sounds like yelling and whimpering until Burke or I help her put them on). She is getting pretty good at putting them on finally. Anyway, these little black beauties have been a clear favorite--even before she is out of her pajamas in the mornings, she has been bringing them to me to have them put on. She loves the way they sound on the tile, (or any hard surface) and literally is tap dancing around my house all day. I have drawn the line by not letting her wear them into the garden :) (Preston thinks this is wildly unfair, because I will not let him wear his "Sunday" shoes except when we are going to church--but I can't help it, it is just SO cute that she LOVES these shoes!!) When she is finished wearing them, this is how I find them :)

Crying because her hairbow came out!

Any bag with a handle is now a "purse"-- this one stuffed full of dominos . . .

I love the way she marches all over the house letting this thing swing from her elbow.

Who knew Little Girls just come that way?!?
