Shoes Fetcher

When it is time to go somewhere, someone just needs to say "shoes" and Isabelle will retrieve her shoes saying "shs" repeatedly on the way to the front door where they are located. This works most of the time for her to get the correct everyday shoes and not her dressier shoes. She'll plop down on the ground, either trying to put them on herself or waiting as patiently as a toddler can to have someone else put them on her. Isabelle has also learned that the only way she is going to be able to go outside is if I have my shoes too. Once she has her shoes on, she proceeds to get mine. This works when they are a matching pair and not two lefties or two righties of different pairs.

There are other times that Isabelle will displace the shoes around the house possibly trying to tell us she would like to go somewhere.

Isabelle knows when we come back inside that she needs her shoes off as well and plops down again waiting for them to be removed.

Shoes are currently so interesting to Isabelle that going down a shoe aisle at a store gets her quite excited. She motions for her current shoes to be taken off and wants to try on the new ones. Maybe there should be a new catch phrase. Instead of "like a kid in a candy store" it should be "like Isabelle in a shoe aisle".
