Sticky Fingers

We went shopping over July 4th weekend to find Pink and Blue something red, white or blue to wear. Of course we stopped in Gap first. We were side tracked and started looking at hats for our upcoming Beach vacation. Leo found the cutest khaki bucket hat for Blue. He was actually looking for one like it for himself. So, the second Pink sees Blue trying on hats, she has to have one.

We go through just about every bucket hat they sell for toddler girls. She finally finds one she likes and we are on our way. I found a large, flimsy straw hat and was happy. Leo was not able to find what he was looking for so we decided to walk in to Old Navy.

Leo walks towards the men's section and I stroll the kids in to the women's. We are stopped in front of all the women's long, cotton dresses and shoes. We are there for about 2-3 minutes before Leo comes and finds us. He had no luck in finding a bucket hat so we went on our way.

We are out of the store and about to walk to the car. I look down and ask, "Where is Pink's hat?" Leo says, "I don't know." We then look on her lap and she is definitely holding a pair of shoes she must have picked up while we were standing in front of the dresses. Our 2-year old has just stolen a pair of shoes from Old Navy. Not only did she steal a pair of shoes, she also left her brand new hat behind. We had to go back!!!!

We decided to walk back in the store, put the shoes back, pick up the hat and be on our way. Praise the good Lord that knew, she knew no better. We made it out fine and told her repeatedly what she did was wrong. I could have died!

Needless to say, we will always make sure those sticky fingers are out of reach of material objects while she is shopping with Mom and Dad or anyone else for that matter.

Toodles!
