Beth and Cate chose their first pair of shoes (with no prompting) and Cate chose a very practical pair of shoes. Bethie, HOWEVER, HAD to have these boots. Her teacher had a pair, and she loved the heel and the fashion, but has worn them once ONLY and never again..... i had thought that may be the case, she loves the idea of style and fashion, but at this stage in her life, could not be bothered to let it cramp her style of playing!!!!
