As we were browsing through a shoe store the other day, Niko picks up a pair of school bus yellow, patent leather, stripper heels. He says, "Mommy, try these on. They're beautiful!". Since he handed me a size 6, I knew would be impossible to fit even my big toe in, I declined. He proceeds to pick out lots of colorful, exotic shoes for me to try on. Since when did my 5-year-old stuntman take an interest in women's shoes? He tells me, "But, Mommy.....you'll look so beautiful with these shoes on!". Too cute!
As we continue shopping, his eyes suddenly light up and he runs over to me, gets on one knee, holding a shoe in one hand and says, "Try this shoe on and see if it fits!". I look down and see a clear plastic, strapless, 3-inch heel with lots of gold and silver sparkles. This shoe was bejeweled and glittered to the max! Niko says, in his Boston accent, "This is the glass shoe that Prince Charming gives all the gals!". The young, Mexican salesgirl couldn't stop laughing. Only my little Prince Charming would do something so adorable! I hope he never grows up but when he does, I hope he buys me lots of glittery shoes :)
