My little Cinderella

Miss Annika has had to wear orthotics on her feet since she was about 10 months old. The previous kind that she had were not only extremely expensive...but they were huge and would not fit in any shoes other than crocs. So needless say, our little lady had crocs in every girly color made. However in December she was asked to be a demo model for a new orthotics company, Cascade that was coming to Cincinnati Children's for a free set of braces we were on board to give it a try. Annika was rewarded with a set of "leap frogs" in pink and white for her fierce, and perfect modeling.

I was compelled to see if there were any shoes that resembled girly shoes that she could possibly fit into. With great anxiety we went from stride rite (no luck) to of all places....payless. Wouldn't you know it... Success!!! We found some cute sporty (narrow!!) shoes that were pink and they had Dora!! Annika squeeled when she walked and looked down at her feet. We were also able to get her the ultimate shoe for every girl, Mary Jane's.

With the arrival of my new camera, Annika sat and asked if I could take a picture of her shoes, what can I say, she is Cinderella, just with brown Dora shoes, instead of glass slippers.
