What do they call it... terrible 2's


So last week while shopping at Nordstroms I decided to get the boys new shoes. So we went over to the kids shoe section and I picked some out for both boys. The salesmen helping me went and got some different styles for Conner and I tried them on and picked out a pair, no problem.

Then it was Colten's turn. The salesmen wanted to measure his foot to make sure he was in the right size, so we are both kneeling down to put Colten's foot on the thing that measures your foot and he does NOT want to put his foot in there. He looks at the salesman and screams right in his face this long, really high pitched, only dogs can hear him now scream. The look on the salesman's face was priceless. He was a younger guy and by the look on his face I really doubt he had kids. It was really hard not to laugh even though I was a bit embarrassed. Oh well, I figure most of the people that are at Nordstroms in the middle of the day on a Tuesday are other moms with there kids that embarrass them too. So I then told the salesman to just bring out a 7 and we will see how it fits. When he returned with the shoe Colten then told him "I don't like shoe" over and over. He ended up leaving in those shoes on because once I finally got it on him there was not way I was taking it off.
Remember when shopping was fun, now it seems more like a chore. Please tell me that it gets better....
