We went to buy Easter shoes a couple days ago. Mommy found a very cute pair of shiny white shoes with a little tiny satin bow above the toe. Perfect little girl Easter shoes.
While I was trying to find the right size, Kate spies a pair of pink "foam clogs" (that's not the right name, I'm sure) that have Dora on them. OOoohhhh. Her eyes are dancing as she pulls them down and puts them on her own feet. They fit perfectly! Not exactly what Mom would have picked out, but Kate looked up at me and was trying to say Dora. It was very cute. Do you want those? You may get them. She looked so proud, and wanted to wear them out of the store, even though she was wearing brown suede shoes that matched her dress. Wow...giving herself a haircut and doing her own shopping all in one week. We're getting to be a big girl!
Very proud!

Did I mention Kate is potty trained? O.K., I don't wish to cast aspersions on the male gender here, but she was done with potty training before any of the boys even started. She just seemed to 'get' what the whole goal was. The ticket seemed to be filling up a bubble gum machine with M&Ms. Everytime she was successful, she was allowed to go turn the knob and get herself a few M&Ms. She picked up on the association immediately, and it was a powerful incentive! She can even take a nap (in her new little Dora or Elmo underwear) and wake up dry. You go girl!!!
