Lexi has a really bad habit of getting things and putting them in very “special” places. I think it may be something all kids go through because I remember Emma doing this but it seems worse with Lexi. Like recently I couldn’t find her shoes and after making laps around the house, I finally asked her and found them in this closed jewelry box. If you follow me on twitter, you may remember that little tweet.
Well, today I come home from taking the kids to school and get all ready to sign on to work and can’t find my key fob thingie that is attached to a necklace thing from work to sign on. I knew one of the kids had it. Ironically someone seriously asked me yesterday at work what to do if you lose your key fob and I said jokingly, “Well me? I go in the playroom and usually find it.” Lexi loves to put the necklace on and play with it. So I go around the house looking in weird places for the necklace. I can not find it. I’m late getting on to work and I get desperate.
I call the preschool and have to ask the head of the preschool to go ask Lexi where “Mommy’s red necklace for work.” She kind of laughed and said sure. She comes back and says “Lexi says it’s in the curtain.” OK. I make her hang on and check all my curtains. No necklace. She asks if she should go get Lexi and put her on the phone. It’s work so I say yes. Lexi comes on the phone. She sounds very serious and I’m hoping she doesn’t think she’s in trouble. I say “Lexi. What room is Mommy’s work necklace in?” She says, “The office.” Great. Especially since I don’t HAVE curtains in there. But lo and behold, I walk in and find it on the moulding under the blinds. Whew. “Thanks Lexi!”
But then it looks like this without the cap. And that always irritates me when I don’t have the cap. But I don’t see it anywhere near my desk. It doesn’t warrant a call to the preschool though.
This afternoon I ask Lexi where the top is. She laughs and says, “In here, silly.”
Of course! In the DVD case.
That made my day!:) MOM

Leila still has special “treasure” boxes all over the house. She loves any empty (or not quite empty) perfume bottles or any little trinkets she finds. Matthew was never interested…it must be a girl thing.
