I found Vincent’s “new blue hat with the train on it” this morning, under a mountain of miscellaneous stuff in a closet. When I showed it to him, his laugh was almost maniacal. Then he put it on. Then he put Aidan’s cap on over it. Conversation as follows:
“Look, now I’m Mr. Peekee.”
“Who’s Mr. Peekee?”
“I am.”
“But who’s Mr. Peekee when he’s not you?”
“Mr. Pickle.”
“And who’s Mr. Pickle?”
“Mr. Peekee.”
Sigh.
Just what I needed! I like Mr. Circle Head.
We found Ivy’s hat under a coat right after I asked (non accusingly) mom-in-law if she had any idea where it went after their trip to the park 2 weeks ago. Ivy was napping when we made the discovery and I hung the hat up on the door knob for later. Today, during a time-out, Ivy saw the hat and got very excited, “Mommy, I found my hat! Mommy!…” She was feeling brilliant at a very not brilliant time. Amends were made and kudos were given.
Haha, yes! First thing Vincent always says when I hand him a previously lost item: “I found it!!”
