This morning as I was getting the girls ready, Ria stood in the doorway and watched me do her sister's hair. I said, "go get your shoes and coat!" and she toddled off. When she returned, she brought her new shoes, a size and a half too big for her feet, with Little Miss Sunshine on them. Unlike the black shoes that fit her, they are bright and cheerful. I thought about telling her to get the others when I looked in her eyes. Plain as day, her big blue eyes held a stark challenge. She wanted to wear those shoes and was waiting for me to tell her no!
Well, with determination like that, who am I to get in the way?
