Land of the lost....

[Phoebe]

In the last 24 hours we have lost an irreplacable lovey, "baby" resulting in a two hour search and rescue throughout the house. DH left me high and dry in the middle of it to go take his once-in-a-blue-moon call at the cushy hospital (where they have a tread mill, lounger, stocked fridge and no patients so he can take a nap). My poor baby wouldn't nap and kept calling "baby!". DD#1 finally found it in the silverware drawer after we had all given up and I was calling out-of-state to try and find another one. I actually found a blog online for posting lost loveys.

This morning DD#1 couldn't find her book for kindergarten. We knew it was contained to her room where it was misplaced. I swear our house isn't that organized. After I found it behind a picture frame, it is a 5x5 paperback book, she tells me how she remembered putting it there. DOH! :banghead:

What a nice start to the day! Can I get lost next? So only Sven can find me?

Losing a much adored lovey is not fun!! One time we left DS's bear (or as he calls it "Dare") at the babysitters. We searched high and low all weekend. Finally, Sunday night my sitter calls and says "did you know that you left bear here?" Thank the Lord!
Now I don't let the bear out of the house, except on rare occasions.

I HATE that feeling- like I know that I've seen it. I can remember seeing it. WHERE the heck is it now???!!!

I'm currently trying to find one of Nikolai's shoes.

Glad you found the baby!.

DD2's lovey is a half kitty half blankey that is monogrammed. After losing it briefly I did an extensive net search and found the exact same one, had it monogrammed and everything. Now I have Kitty1 and Kitty2 for backup.

Ugh, Jenn. I say get that replacement lovey now, just in case! If it makes you feel any better, Andrew lost his shoes with his orthotics. We looked everywhere and I was just about ready to call to get an appt. for expensive new ones when I found the shoes in our....shoe closet. Who would have thought to look there?

I'm glad you guys found it.

Re: Land of the lost....

We did have one replacement already and it got tossed overboard out of the stroller at the mall when two out of the three kids were acting up and I didn't notice. I've got my mom working on another one and I have become strict about leaving the lovey at home. We still lose it, obviously... I should have bought three.

Aahhh... the silky... I remember. Each one of mine has a stuffed animal.

Re: Land of the lost....

I don't know how we've avoided the lovey thing!

My kids are only attached to their thumbs... And they can't lose those things, so...

Glad you found it-- you must have spent a long time looking for that and the book! How utterly frustrating!

I'm glad you found the lovey. I know that panic! Despite our strict no loveys/dolls/animals/etc out of the house policy, we still lose them! It's so frustrating!


Jennifer - if you get lost, pick me up on your way!
