Being the only child, and the only “apo” (grandchild) on my side of the family, Bea gets to enjoy being the recipient of attention, affection and numerous presents, not just from the dad and myself, but from our family and friends as well. Before she came along, my hubby and I only had each other to shower presents on. Now when we go malling, we just can’t help but get her stuff. And there are just so many tempting things out there to buy…especially for a little girl. Our little fashionista can really put a stylish outfit together. Even before she turned 2 years old, she’d choose which clothes to wear and with matching shoes to boot! And does she love footwear!
Sandals, flip-flops, sneakers, kitten heels, boots, etc. From the day she said goodbye to her baby booties, she’s had this on-going love affair with footwear. Owning more or less 40-50 pairs, there came a point when we just had to stop getting because there were like Bea’s shoes everywhere. She has outgrown, literally, most her shoes. Some were just worn once! Gave away most of them to friends, neighbors and whoever was in need of girl shoes. Kept the “firsts” though. First flip-flops. First mules. Something to show her when she’s older. Now it’s time to get new ones again, her feet are beginning to look “hulk-like” with her older pairs.
"Now when you go to New York, you see little posters (outside shoe stores saying) 'There's a little Imelda in all of us.' That’s quoting the Philippines' former first lady, Imelda Marcos.
