Dance Routine

Active from birth, K-bao loves to rope sister C-bao into many of her high energy shenanigans.

Wild chases around the house, Ring Around the Rosies at all hours, indoor jump-roping, inappropriate climbing of any and all furniture - all these are the hallmarks of K-bao's sorority leadership.

The below indoctrination of her sister into the Feraba Tap Dance routine (which K-bao invented early in life) - complete with loud, unmatching footwear - is illustrative.

Shoes

"Your daughter has a shoe fetish," declared K-Mum to K-Pop this afternoon.

"This is not news," replied K-Pop, noting the strong hereditary factor.

The latest data? Apparently K-Mum had sent away for several pairs of "Sugar & Spice" Stride Rites, LA Underground silver sandals, purple Keens and Converse All-Stars. While K-Pop normally preaches restraint on this type of discretionary spend, even he had to concede that K-bao's feet had apparently experienced a recent growth spurt.

However, the original premise of the purchase was that some of these models were going to be sent back. Unfortunately little K-bao had already laid eyes on the new kicks before the full construct was explained and agreed to. The subsequent explanation unsurprisingly led to vigorous negotiations, pleas and protests.

"Please, Mommy please!"
"I love them sooo much!"
"They are sooo cute!"
"Can I please keep all of them?"
"Please Mommy, you're the best!" 

Shoephile

Classic K-bao move. With a casual "See you next time!," the little one kicks off her Crocs, grabs an expensive retail item - a Burberry rainboot, what else? - and takes off. The girl has clearly inherited her mother's high end tastes along with her obsession with footwear. (Though what about the pilfering tendencies? Disavowed by both parents)

Headstart

K-Pop is speechless. And this is without looking around for the five or six other pairs that are hidden in the closet somewhere.
