Shoe Fetish

OMG! Is it crazy or is it just me that Tia already has a shoe fetish? How boys automatically know about being rough and mean and girls know about shoes, make-up, and jewelry. Tia has always loved shoes. If she sees a pair, she'll bring them to the owner. Not sure how she always knows whose they are, but she does. She often brings Chris's to him and lately she just loves everyone's shoes. I had this silver pair of boots I tried to put on her this weekend but her feet are not long, but they are thick. Chris calls them yabba dabba feet. But she was very determined to wear it. She walked around and her foot was half way into the boot. She seriously looked like a pirate the way she was walking around with a limp. I lost it when Chris was saying 'Ahoy Matie'. She was determined and eventually she got it on. So I put the other one on her and told her to jump and she got it on too. We all looked and could tell that it was paining her to walk, but she wanted to have them on and refused to let us take them off. Talk about fashion over function as I know I have lived by many times! It wasn't for a good hour that we were able to switch her shoes back to her tennis shoes. We knew that she had a shoe fetish. I decided to buy her some play shoes at the store and saw a 4 pack of Disney princess ones and thought 'what the heck'. Got them home but I waited until Chris arrived before opening it and showing them to Tia. I had them on the table and was trying to take the plastic off. She walks over and her eyes got really big. She screamed 'shoes' and started jumping up and down in joy. I looked at Chris with amazement. The only part of the shoe you could see was the very front tip. I have no idea how she knew they were shoes. Chris was equally surprised and we were blown away by her response. We took the first pair out - the pink ones. She put them on and let's just say she would not take them off. She played with the other ones organizing on the shelf and then off again, then moving them around. She was grouping them together, etc. When it was bed time, Chris tried to take them off and she was upset, so I said...let her wear them to bed if she wants and she did. She was almost asleep when we heard her cry out. He goes in and she said 'help' because her shoe fell off. So funny that she couldn't go to bed because her shoe fell off. Chris was just laughing so hard about it. We finally got them off of her and snuck them away as she grew more tired, but it will start all over again tomorrow! She is such a cutie and so funny!
