Emma is my biggest blessing from the Lord. She is beautiful, sweet, kind, and mannered. Well, some days. Other days she is not so pretty, unkind and rude. Did I forget loud? Everything always balances out. She is our biggest blessing. She was so proud of her big girl shoes that she wore on Thanksgiving day. If you have heard me lament on the perils of shopping for a child with skinny feet, well I am sorry. Emma's heel is about 1 inch wide!!!!!!!!!! That is not normal. She has her daddy's skinny feet. The Mayos have wide feet. My get wider when they are on the floor. (That may not be normal either.) Back to the shoes. . . Emma and I have been shopping for dress shoes since August. No luck! Well, the week before Thanksgiving Carolyn (Cleveland's mom), Emma and I went to look for shoes again. It is to cold to wear flip flops to church. God takes us as we are, but Momma wants shoes on her girl's feet. We were not finding anything, as normal. Emma saw these high heels. Oh, I mean HIGH HEELS !!!!!!!!!!!! Emma screamed with delight. I knew that they would not fit well. They are clogs. They were close, with socks even okay. But not what I was looking for in dress shoes. But she loved them and they were no clearance for nine dollars. I bought them with the agreement that she would try on any shoes I wanted for the rest of the day. A win-win in my eyes. She hates shopping. Later, we went to two other stores. Finally, we found dress shoes at JcPenney's. Okay, they are the same style we have had for a few years, but they fit that skinny foot. Yeah! Did I say win-win!
