Yesterday was just like any other day. We slept in, had a late breakfast and then set about attending to a couple errands. One of the things on our 'to do' list was to get Hoover some school shoes. Not any old school shoes I might add, but her very first pair of school shoes!


How did this happen so soon?

Where did the time go?

Day's fly ...

I can remember her first pair of shoes, I still have them in fact. We often take them out of their box and marvel at how tiny they are.

 'Were they really my shoes mama'?

'Yes hanini girl they really were your shoes' I reply.

'Did I like wearing them mama'? she inquires

'You did enjoy wearing them sweetheart, but you much preferred to walk around barefoot'.

In fact she still does. My barefooted, free spirited, fairy girl could walk around ħafja for days on end.



I often wonder how she is going to manage wearing those black Mary Jane's all day long? I suspect she is going to take off like the wind, with grace and ease and a skip in her step.
