Conall has outgrown yet another pair of shoes -- this time he went up 2 sizes since the last pair I bought about 3 weeks or so ago! I believe his next pair will have to be in the "boy" sizes instead of toddler!
After I picked him up from school today, we went shopping for shoes. We went to Penney's because they always seem to have the best selection and prices for him. Conall knows where in the store the shoe department is and where in the shoe department his sizes are. He went right to his size of shoes, picked out the style/color he wanted, and showed them to me to make sure they were ok with me. Then, he marched up to the cashier's desk. This is where the story gets funny.
Because they appeared to be having a sale, the shoe department was super-crowded. Conall walked right past everyone in both cashier's lines and "ordered" his shoes. He really "ordered" them! He looked straight at the woman checking out a customer and said "I need these in a size 11 please." (turns out we needed a 12). At least he said "please," right?
The woman with two kids, who'd obviously been waiting too long to get shoes to try on, looked really peeved and glared at him, and in turn, me. I grabbed him and pulled him to the end of the line where Caitlin and I and the cart were. I had to explain to him that we had to wait our turn.
After a short pause, he looked at me with complete innocence and said "you mean I cutted?" Although it was embarrassing, it was hilarious!

Oh, that story made my day. That was way too cute! Simply precious...simply Conall.
Oh ny goodness, our Conall is something else isn't he? PoPo and I are laughing and shaking our heads at the same time. How did he become a "young man" when he was just a baby last year? This is such a cute Conall story.
