When I was little I had to wear leg braces for a few years. You see, for the first few years of my walking life I only walked on my tip toes. I don’t know for sure, but I imagine myself bouncing around in excitement on my tip toes. The problem was that this habit shortened my Achilles tendons until I couldn’t walk properly on flat feet if I tried. So, I was suited with special shoes that forced me to walk properly until I was back on track. However, the doctors told my parents that I would probably always go up on my tip toes when I was excited about something.
…And I totally do. I don’t even realize I’m doing it most of the time, but today I was really into the music on my itunes and I was dancing around wildly. I realized that I was only dancing on my tip toes. I also walk up stairs on my tip toes. And run (not long distances, just down the hall) on tip toes.
Well, now you know something new about me. And I thought it’d be fun to do so-called “Tippy Toes” posts now and then to share what things I’m super happy and excited about at the moment. You know, things that have me on my tippy toes.
Here are the things that have me dancing on my tippy toes lately…
*New Adele music…although technically it doesn’t have me on my tip toes because “Someone Like You” just makes me melt into a puddle of sad even though it’s beautiful.
*The seriously precious pictures from my sister’s baby photo shoot.
*Looking back over pictures from my trip to Palma de Mallorca
*Dark Chocolate
*Free coffee/hot chocolate in the Sala de Profesores—the machine was broken for a while so the repair man set it up so we’d have free drinks for a few days.

*Looking at the new spring dresses I bought and dreaming of the day when I will be able to wear them--should be soon!
And best thing of all…
*Getting to spend the next week and a half with my parents!!! We will be traveling around and catching up and I cannot wait. I will take loads of pictures and maybe someday I can steal someone’s internet again and upload them.

You should have been a ballerina!! I really want to see those pictures! I am so excited you get to spend time with your family!!!!!
that is so cute! i'm also on my tippy toes all the time- because i'm so dang short. everyone at work makes fun of me, and of course, my husband is 13 inches taller, so in every picture we take i'm on my tippys :)
excited for you to spend time with you family! have fun and i can't wait to see the pictures :)
can steal my internet as much as you want!!!!!! :) enjoy your super week and a half. <3
Yay for Tippy Toes Tuesday. This is seriously an adorable post. I hope that you have an amazing time with your parents. Randomly enough, I have the opposite problem of you. My arches are way too high (like my doctors freak when they see how high) and it causes me not to put all of my toes on the ground because my tendons are weird. Yay for your post and random feet problems ;)
Wish I could be there with the fam' but I know you will all have a blast! Love you mucho!
I had the same problem as a child but leg braces didn't help so they cut my Achilles tendons.
I am am in love with Adele's new music as well.
Tippy toe dancing is so fun!
&& I am so happy that your parents are coming out to see you! FOR A WEEK AND A HALF!!!
I'd tippy toe dance FOR you! <3
Love, love, LOVE Someone Like You!
Love new Spring dresses!
& Love that you are with your parents right now! I can't wait to hear all about it! <3
