Valentine Shoes

Bea has started to express her interest in more "girly clothes." I usually dress her in pants, sneakers, soft materials for comfort and mobility, but I see that she is ready to expand another part of her wardrobe.
Yesterday as she was getting dressed she asked me, "Where are my skirts?" She asked this as if I had been keeping them in a different drawer that she hadn't come across yet.
Today as she got dressed she asked, "Where are my party shoes?" Once again, she did not ask me for new shoes but inquired in a tone that could be used when looking for her favorite shoes she wore every day.
After school today she asked, "Where are my Valentine shoes?" This time I had to clarify and without hesitation she described, "They are red, sparkly and have bows on them."
Okay.... I think I see a pattern- more twirly, sparkly kind of clothes. I can do that.
