We did our seasonal shop at Hennes today - sweeping up nice bright, cheap and cheerful basics for the summer (and our holiday!) As soon as we got into the shop, Maia gravitated towards the shiny things, and had to be reminded relatively strongly that we had to get clothes first and THEN we could look at the shiny things.
An armful of tops and skirts and trousers later, she rushed over to the tiaras and father boas (I kid you not) to ooooh and aaaah alot. She was there with Pat, who I think she thought was going to be a soft touch, but he proved to be resistant to the charms of the sparkle ("But Daddy, look! It has a tiara and a wand!")
I found a pair of shiny pink ballet pumps in her size and brought them over. Totally impractical. No ankle support, shiny pink non-leather, will probably give her blisters if she wears them for too long. In other words, totally wonderful.
"Maia, how about these for dress up?"
"OOOOOOH" she said, "They are Fairy Princess Ballerina shoes!" and her pupils dilated, and she moved towards the shoes, mesmerised.
Needless to say, we bought them, and she hasn't taken them off since.
