Nature vs. Nurture

Sure, I like me some shoes. In fact they are the one purchase that I will actually splurge on justifying to myself that shoes can make or break an outfit. Think Carrie Bradshaw. Anyway, I've mentioned before on here that Melita is also showing a liking to shoes. Sometimes 'shoes' is the first word out of her mouth in the morning. And I will admit that we have used putting on her shoes as a means of bribing her to do something else. However, her love for shoes has grown exponentially in the last couple of weeks. Before when she would go into my closet she would rummage around i.e. underwear and bras on her head and random shoes being thrown around. But lately she's been going into my closet and heading straight for a pair of red wedges. She puts them on the correct feet and then prances around the house like a true super model. Where did she learn this? Obviously I don't prance around the house in my shoes so it really does beg the question if little girls are born with the concept of what is girlie and what isn't. The is little for the parents to do but sit back and watch the show. It's definitely something to think about...
