As I have watched Kelly blossom over the past eleven months, one thing I've observed is that the girl loves shoes!
All day long, from the time she wakes up until it's time for bed, she is bringing me a new pair of shoes to help her put on. Sometimes she gets frustrated because she wants to wear two pairs of shoes at the same time, one on top of the other! She probably changes shoes 10 times a day, but her favorites to wear when we're out and about are definitely the red cherry flip flops.
As you can tell, they've seen better days, as have many of them, including my favorites, the Lelli Kelly's. They're such cute shoes, but I love them simply because they bear her name!
Kelly has not always loved shoes, however. There was a time when she absolutely hated having shoes on her feet. When we were in China and bought her some of the ever-popular squeaky shoes, we thought she'd be delighted. Nothing could be further from the truth! She screamed bloody murder when we put them on her feet. We thought it might be the squeakies, so we took them out... nope, she still hated them! Oh well, good thing it was summer and it was really too hot for shoes anyway.
It was a good couple of months after Kelly got home before she finally decided she liked shoes, and there's been no looking back since!
Camryn was the one who helped her to change her mind about them, and if you haven't seen this post about how it happened, you have to check it out. It's one of my favorites!

What an adorable post! A girl can never have to many pairs of shoes. Love those LellKelly shoes!!
Yes, yes, that was one thing I could not get Kelly to like was her shoes. I remember all too well. I taught her that Piglet was o.k. so then we moved onto the shoes. Wasn't going to happen! But, big sister, Camryn, came through with flying colors and showed her how to be a princess with shoes! I love the pics. I do think Kelly might own more shoes than me!
Love all of your posts Jen! It is so great seeing Kelly so happy and content in your HOME! Couldn't be happier for you all. Hope good days are ahead for you all!
Love ya,
Deb

OOps, sorry. I've been helping my friend do a blog and forgot to log out of hers.
She'd probably like all those shoes too!!
Check out her blog sometime. I know she wouldn't want you to now because she hasn't got photo's on there yet. We've been working on slide shows.
Hugs to you my friend
