I have to do something with my time as I sit in this tree outside your window

Oh, God, it never ends. Once they're done leaving the toys everywhere, then it's the jeans and the shoes and the hairbrush, and the shirt they absolutely have to freaking wear!

I've failed them in the 'keeping track of one's own shit' department.

Don't be so hard on yourself; the odds were stacked against you from the beginning

Hahahha I occasionally lost my stuffed animal as a kid. Very traumatic.

It's 'piggy' who gets lost at our place (for last 6 years). We almost lost him permanently once while on holiday. My daughter seemed to cope better than anticipated with his loss, and hubby and I were relieved to see him gone. Then just as we were leaving the country town we'd been staying in we stopped off at the local bakery to grab some snacks, and there was 'piggy' behind the counter, waiting for us to take him home. Fuck it!!!

LOL I just made a status about this on my Facebook last night. This occupies half my waking hours. Kids must be starting a mini Occupy movement right under my nose!

Ack. Yes, mine lacks the ability to look under other things. If he doesn't see it immediately on his first survey of the room he is standing in, it is LOST FOREVER (*wail*). At our house, we have a pair: Sonic and Knuckles. One day, Sonic & Knuckles... One day...

I pretty much do this all day. She also likes me to fetch anything that is out of her grasp by as much as a few inches.

I get that, too. So, I'll say "why, are your legs broken?" And inevitably somebody will say "Yes, my legs are broken."

Smartass kids.

It makes me CRAZY when the thing they're looking for is right in front of their face.

See, with childless me, it's my fiance who I'm constantly finding things for. His wallet, for example. The upside is that I'm teaching the dog how to find his wallet.

this applies to littlest pet shop animals too. so annoying when she needs a specific, missing one, but she's got 187 others around the house that just aren't the right one. i tell her that her toys are not my problem. i'm slightly mean.

HA! My LittleGuy does that with EVERYTHING. If he wasn't nearly 4, I'd want to have his eyes checked and his head examined. I might still do that anyway.

I go berserk with that stuff too! Now I will see your fancy stick people in my head next time and my kids will be like, "Why are you laughing at us, mom?"

I think that's another good item on the list of "all kids do that. " my son makes me look for TINY pieces of lego in the house, accusing me of having vacuumed the precious part. I find it VERY hard to refuse him because the meltdowns are worse than the searching.

We used to play hide and seek with Emma, but because there's really no place to hide in our house we'd hide Barbies. She was the fucking WORST at finding Barbies. So we'd restrict it to certain rooms. . . and we'd hide like 10 of the things. It was like an Easter egg hunt. Months later we'd stumble across Barbies we'd hidden. . . but I digress.

Emma could be standing 18" from a hidden (in plane sight) Barbie and not see it because it was hidden higher than eye level. We would say over and over and over (and over), "Look high and low, Emma."

She would dutifully look down and then up and go "THERE it is!"

TO THIS DAY. . .

"Daddy, I can't find the pickle jar, where is it."
"Look high and low, Emma."
"THERE it is!"

Every day.

Yeah... I'm right there with you... except instead of Yoshi it's Brobee (or some other Gabba friend).

"LM... did you look by your feet?"
*sob, sniffle, sniffle* "Yes."
*looks down at feet* "OH! Mine Grobee!"
