During our caselot shopping trip this week, Lucy managed to lose a shoe. I checked the aisles - twice and couldn't find it. I found comfort in the fact that I'd only paid $.10 for the pair at a garage sale over the weekend. Rich and I were bummed, but after checking at Customer Service tried to get over it. We loaded the car (literally, the back end was pretty low) and the kids. As we buckled up, I said to Luke - half joking - "Luke, do you remember where Lucy lost her shoe?" He quickly replied, "by the big 10". I looked at Rich and told him it was worth a shot. Luke and I raced back into the store to check on aisle 10.....no shoe. We went all the way to the back - eyes on the floor - no shoe. As I turned to go back down aisle 9, Luke said, "Wait Mom. Look." He was pointing to a display of stacked boxes with a shoe on top! YAY!! I was so excited! I told him he was a great detective! We went out and got back into the car, shoe in hand. Hooray for a good-lookin' kid with a great memory!! Lucy was happy to have her shoe back, too.
Later that day...Lucy was walking in the neighbor's yard and walked over a flooded sprinkler box...her shoe came off in the water...ugh. Mark fished it out (thanks, Mark) for us, but it was soaked and dirty so she ran around the rest of the afternoon without tights and shoes.
Hmmmm...Maybe they're too big?

I could use him to find my keys and my glasses and to help me remember why I went downstairs :-)
