I brought Junie to Nordstrom on Friday afternoon to get a pair of summer sneakers -- like tough athletic shoes that she could use for soccer, t-ball, hikes, playground, etc. Instead, somehow, we came home with these.
Bright pink hearts. Glitter. Rhinestones. Flashing lights. Giant metallic wings. You know, just the basics.
It happened because I was not prepared for negotiation. I'm just not used to bringing her clothes shopping with me. I buy almost everything online, or on quick errands by myself during the workday. (And now I remember why I do that.)
These shoes are too expensive for what they are, and too ridiculous, and she won't be able to use them for actual sports. But she was just so cute and so excited. I could not say no to pure four-year-old joy.
It was worth it.
