Don’t mess with a girl and her heels!

The time is passing by so quickly.  My girls are growing up faster, both literally and figuratively.  I’m starting to notice I’m constantly trying to play catch up to all the changes happening in our lives.  Luckily for me there is one constant…one wonderfully silly thing that hasn’t changed and it never fails to make me smile! 

Shoes…specifically strappy heels.  My nine year old gets more wear out of my crazy heels than I do.  I remember one of my favorite pictures of Alexandra at the age of 2 (shown top left) dancing around in my black heels…no worries people, they were pretty basic strappy heels about 2-3 inches or so. Lol! 

 Since then she’s graduated to 3-4 inchers (shown top right) and loves to play this little “trick” on me when I least expect it.  She’ll quietly walk through the house unbeknownst to me wearing an outrageous pair of heels (the funkier the better) until I catch sight of her and then she giggles like crazy when she gets busted! 

A little side note: I love the fact that she’s somehow managed to learn how to walk well in them unlike many other women I’ve seen in my life in their “duck-walk” ways (you’ve seen them, as well,, so you know exactly what I mean!!!)…No waddling, gorilla-like strut or sounding like a clip-clop clunking horse so yay for her!  Lol!!!!!  And yes, I trained her well…thank you, thank you as I take a quick bow! Lol!!!!!

Ok…So here’s what I think she really likes about this whole thing…There’s a secret love we share for heels; for all shoes funky and fun!  She knows it, I know it, and I hope it never changes!  We share secret glances, smiles, and grins; her eyes sparkle like diamonds and she scrunches her nose in this “hehehe” kind of way.  I love to take her to the store and watch her father’s face while our daughter circles the funky strappy heel selection like a predator circles prey. 

This literally cracks me up because I can see the hamster turning that wheel in her Dad’s head thinking “no, no, no…omg…please no, please no,” as our 9 year old reaches for the loudest, craziest pair she can find.  It gets even better when she tries two different pairs on at the same time and does her modeling cat walk for him…and yes, she gives me that little impish grin I love so much! And with that I say, Don’t mess with a girl and her heels! ;)
