Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun!


Cristina and Me <3

Princess Angela

Izara

Sisters <3

Just a really quick story! I was at work today and Lidia one of the nurses I work with (the one with 6 kids who had the C-Section a while back), was telling me a story. She has a daughter Izara who is 5 years old. She told her mom all she wanted for her birthday was High Heels… “Mom I NEED these!” There is not money for beans and rice let alone high heels for her birthday. So Lidia was thinking about how she can figure this one out, and get these heels. Well, thank God for kid’s imaginations! Izara came running in the room the other day to show me her NEW heels! Her normal school shoes had ripped, and the sole was falling off. So when she walked they went “clank-clank” she told me “Therese they sound JUST like high heels!” As she paraded like a princess around the room!
I was in awe at the simplicity of the joy she found! I was in a store a few days later and saw a little Hula skirt and crown; I figured that for a little princess who can make a broken sole into high heels, she needs a crown to go with it! They came to visit when Cristina and her Mom were here, and they had brought them lip gloss to top it off! I felt right at home with all these girls! Not matter what culture, or level of income….little girls will be little girls! We had a blast dressing them up, and playing princess! I love seeing the simplicity here, and that no matter what kids will be kids! Here are some pictures of the Beauties!
