Shoes - The Universal Girl Language

Cora's a rough and tumble kind of girl.  She likes to run, climb, scramble, jump, wiggle, flip, fly, and even fall on occasion.  But, she can be a prissy girly-girl, too.  Yia Yia and Dado took her shoe shopping recently and as soon as she got her new shoes on, she immediately cast off the old ones to the floor.  Apparently, the appeal of new shoes is universal!

I have a really bad habit of shucking my shoes as soon as I get in the door.  The problem is that I don't have a particular place I put them.  I just put them wherever I feel like at that moment.  So, at any given time, there may be a half dozen or so pairs of my shoes scattered about the house.  Cora's new favorite thing is to put my shoe on and walk around.  Notice I said 'my shoe.'  She puts one shoe on her right foot and walks wonkily around the house.  I tried to put the other shoe on her foot, but oh she got mad.  Did I mention she's fiercely independent?!

You'll notice she chose the black wedges to match her black and white striped pants.  She chose to accessorize with the red ball.  It was just the pop of color this outfit needed apparently!
