You have a stuffed owl named Snowy. It originally belonged to Sarah, but somehow you took ownership. I believe it was about two years ago when Sarah got a new favorite stuffed animal, and so you got to snuggle Snowy. Since then, you and Snowy have been inseparable. Recently, we've had a few battles regarding Snowy. Let me share.
Every single night you have to sleep with Snowy. About a month ago, Snowy went missing! You seriously had Daddy and I hunting EVERYWHERE for this thing. We went about three days turning the house upside down. Then we headed out to the garage to search in the playroom, daddy's workroom and the kitchen. No Snowy. Reluctantly, you went to bed each of those nights without your favorite buddy. And then, as I was picking up the playroom, I came across a funny sight in your barbie house.
Can you spot Snowy??
A few days later, you can't find Snowy again. We try asking you to retrace your steps to find the hiding spot. You just can't remember. Daddy and I go on another Snowy hunt. No luck. Until the next day when you are getting ready for bed. A light bulb goes on and you instantly remember just where you hid Snowy.
That's right. Under the step stool in the bathroom.
And so life returned to normal. Until a week ago. Bedtime comes around and you are frantically searching for guess who...Snowy! Missing again! Daddy and I are at a loss at how you hide this thing and never remember where you put it. This time we just relax and assume that you'll eventually remember or we'll come across it sometime. Fast forward to this morning. I go into the cabinet to get black and orange nail polish for Sarah's halloween party. I did a quick double take...
Do you see what I see? AGH!
I call you over to me (you later tell me that you were scared that I was going to yell at you for not flushing the potty). As soon as you turn the corner, your eyes light up like it's Christmas morning and you've found the greatest gift in the world! Part of me is beginning to think you hide Snowy just so you can get super excited when you find her!! Regardless, I love the special relationship you have with Snowy and I love your silly quirks too! Now if you can just hold onto Snowy for longer than five minutes!
