Okay - I haven't written anything in a few weeks, so why start now? This entry - compliments of my sister Rosemarie - regarding her 2 year old son Anthony and Little Pink Bunny....

"You know Anthony's little pink bunny that he carries around (along with his bottle and Chubby Yellow Bunny)? Well, last week, he lost it at Carol's house. He was upset, but has been doing just fine with chubby bunny. Carol searched her house high and low, asked other parents if, perhaps, bunny had made his way into their diaper bags. I searched the jeep, thinking it may have fallen out in there. I knew it wasn't at our house b/c i noticed it missing when I took the diaper bag out of the jeep at 8 p.m. on this tragic night.

Well, this bunny must have 9 lives (it has been lose and found multiple times). I have been telling Anthony all week, "Did you hide it? It must be at Carol's. You have to help her find it", etc. Carol just called with groundbreaking news:

Bunny has been found! Anthony went outside in her yard this a.m. (and her yard is huge, has lots of Little Tyke stuff, a big sandbox that her hubby put in - a great play place for kids) - she said that Anthony headed straight for the sandbox (where she had previously checked as well), goes to a location and says 'bunny'. Carol says "what did you say"? "bunny" - lo and behold, Carol sees a teeny tiny ear sticking out of the sand. She pulled it out and there was bunny - dirty, icky yet still in tact. Needless to say, she and Anthony ran him thru the washer and he is fresh as new. Anthony must have remembered, or he just saw the ear. Not sure, but that's my story.

Moral is - buy 3 more bunnies for back up.
