Now I know how Cinderella feels!!!

I love dressing my kids. With Harmon and Callum I find the cutest sports outfits, polo shirts, etc. They always look snazzy, but the real fun began when I got a baby girl! I love dressing Rachel to the 9's w/cute outfits, great accesories like tights or leggings, and of course the best bows! Another fun part of course are the shoes. I love cute baby girl shoes. She has ballet shoes, sandals, tennis shoes, mary janes, etc.

Unfortunately one of the great little tidbits of news I got was that Rachel won't be able to wear any of her old shoes except for her high tops. They act like an orthotic to help straighten her ankle and prevent toe walking. In time she will have a permanent orthotics and than she can wear maybe certain sneakers also. The days of cute shoes are over :(

It isn't a big deal but in a way for me it is. It is just the beginning of her starting to look different. I had these adorable sandals that matched her bathing suit and hat that she will never wear. No ballet shoes, no flip flops, no mary janes, and of course when she is older no heels for prom or her first date. I don't want her to look different from her cohorts. I feel bad the little guys get to romp around the house barefoot in a few months and she will have to have shoes and socks on always.

Oh well, there is nothing to be done. So if anyone has a link for great high tops please do share! She is an infant size 3 still and the shoes need to have firm sides (the Converse ones are too floppy). I'm having the worse time finding them b/c it is out of season :(

Perhaps one day long away in the future her Prince Charming will first notice her for her enchanting high top in July... It worked for Cinderella right?

    Heartbreak! But she can still wear the gorgeous bows and dresses, right? (always a silver lining) I will keep on the look out for you (and for her). Just look at her beautiful face instead of her feet, right? Hna. She will be fine. She is strong and beautiful. You don't need to give yourself worry before it comes. As I recall, one of your favorite scriptures was 3 Nephi 13:34 "Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient is the day unto the evil thereof." Remember that. It will all work out.

    So sorry for all you are dealing with. If it means anything, your blog inspires me and also your little girl is just perfect. She's such a beauty and that smile is amazing. I'm going to post a few links of cute shoes, don't know if these are ok or not but I wanted to try and help if I could. The first is See Kai Run, my girls love their shoes.
