Obsession with Pink Shoes

We had bought a pair of cute little pink shoes for Nandini to wear on her first birthday. At that time they were a shade bigger and were the first ever pair of shoes for Nandini, quite obviously she wasn't comfortable in wearing them. So we kept them away for a while and when Nandini grew a litter bigger we got her a pair of sandals, the ones which make a sound when you walk. Initially she was not very comfortable wearing them too, but then she caught fancy of the sandals and loved creating a ruckus with the sound that would come out when she walked.

Soon, Nandini grew out of the sound making sandals and we got the pink shoes back in action. Nandini seemed to have found a long lost toy. She always wanted to wear them. After a while they got worn out (due to repeatedly getting wet) so we thought of phasing them out and got a new pair of shoes for Nandini and removed the pink shoes.
One day she somehow found out the pink shoes from our shoe cupboard and since then she either asks us to make her wear them or she carries them where ever she goes. She even sleeps with them and when we try to hide the shoes away she always manages to find them back. ;-)
