It was magic.
Nora opened the door and found a box for her from Mimi and Poppi!!!!
(Footnote: she answered the door ALL by herself while mommy was in the kitchen...must get better locking mechanism)
The box went on the dining room table as my little angel stood on a chair in anticipation of what was inside.
The flaps slowly unfolded to reveal a treasure of items from the grandparents, in a spoiling only they can give.
Magnets and clothes and new Tinkerbell Pj's and more clothes...and then she spotted them.
Slippers. Slippers with pink feathers across the toes and silver heels. What more could a girl want!
Not to mention the princess crown, earrings, purse, and necklace to match.
We dance. We curtsied. We promenaded through the house to our hearts content.
And then.
Then.
My Cinderella's glass slipper failed her.
There were tears and shrieks. Proclamations of the shoe is BROKEN. Now she can't go to the BALL because her 'fwipper' is broken!
It needs GLUEEEE!
Mommy fix it PEEEEEASE!
And so I gained a degree today in 'glass slipper engineering'...me and the Gorilla glue came to the rescue. ....which leads to a different post, maybe tomorrow.
