Emelyn loves shoes. I am not sure if this is because she is a girl or that we have just always put shoes on her. This morning she went into her room and returned with a pair of shoes that she has outgrown that I had put in the closet to give away. She handed the shoes to me and climbed on the couch. I told her that they didnt fit, but she insisted I put them on. As I was squeezing her chubby little feet into them I got a image in my head of the prince's servant going thru the town looking for the foot that fit the glass slipper and all those feet that just would not fit into it. Emelyn wanted to wear those Navy blue shoes with the red bow on top just as bad as all those ladies in Cinderella wanted the glass slipper to fit them. I would squeeze her chubby foot in and she would walk around and come back to me to take them off. This went on 2 or 3 times until she gave up. I now know how it would feel to be the person trying to make all those chubby feet fit into the glass slipper.
