We brought Eowyn to get new sneakers at Red's Shoe Barn today. She walked up the two levels of stairs, on her own, and at the top their was special glow coming from one display, right in front. Eowyn LOVES boots. She is very into shoes, of all kinds, but the spring rain boots just called to her. She tried on ALL of them. It was hilarious. She put them on, walked around, grabbed another pair of mismatched rain ware for her feet and tramped around until another couple caught her fancy. Grammy bought her a pair that look like ladybugs. I think she is bound to enjoy them as much as her snow boots, once home, but the fact they matched and were the right size for her feet, caused them to be cast off in the store.
She did willingly try on the sneakers, which were the reason for going in the first place, but they did not hold the same joy as the rain boots. I was excited to find the simple Nike sneakers, in her size, costing only $10.00 a pair! We bought the next size up, hoping to get through the whole summer of sneaker weather, for $20.00! Wow!!
*Note: for all of you who have ever worked retail, and are grimacing upon hearing of this little girl ripping apart a boot display, we, being the responsible parents we are, put the boots all back where they were, when we left.*
