The issues of Pink.

As many of you know our daughter is not a huge fan of Pink. some days she loves it in small doses, and will tolerate it.

Other days, like today, pink is the worst idea in the world, and really, we should reconsider just what sort of parents we are if we try and even suggest she touch the colour.

20 mins ago I got an email from Tara's new Ballet Teacher (Miss Tara), telling me that while they can wear whatever they like, they need to have pink shoes. Yes, even though the colour could technically pass as being Nude, or Flesh.... Ballet Pink was not a word that was entered into my daughters vocabulary.

So, in accordance to my telling her she has to wear pink shoes, the world as she knows it has ended, and the tears that have followed are enough to rival Alice in Wonderland.

I told her that the options were pink shoes or no ballet and she needed to have a think about it and make her own decisions about what she was going to do. Well, she's come back to me and told me "I'll need to think about that".

She doesn't mind pink hair ties, nor does she mind pink on her tshirts. Granted, she would prefer the world to only contain Green with a touch of purple and red. But the idea of wearing an item of clothing that is solely pink is a little beyond her comprehension at the moment.

So... I changed my shoe order from White to Pink ('cause of course, I find out this information about pink shoes immediately after I ordered white ones!), and they are being made as we speak. She might not have them by Wednesday, but at least they are coming.

*sigh* I think we have a long road ahead of us if Ballet is going to be on the cards!

I'm curious as to why they NEED to wear pink shoes? Seems a tad odd to me!

Not sure Stacey, but as I had the order placed I needed to make a decision on whether to change it to pink shoes, or just get the white I had ordered. I figured get the pink now, and if needed can buy new ones and sell the old ones. They are allowed to wear whatever they like so I am not sure why it needs to be pink (especially since boys can wear black), but I'll leave it for now and ask the Teacher when I get a chance..
