lost ...

If you look at the picture from the post below (ToyStory3) you might notice that Colton looks VERY sad. Why would a four year old boy who has just been to see a cute movie be so down? As we left the theater, Colton looked down at his hands ... and his CTR ring was gone. Back in January, Colton moved from the Sunbeam primary class to the CTR class, and he received his CTR ring. As a past teacher of said class, and as a mother to several kids who have passed through this stage, I have noticed that the CTR ring usually doesn't last very long on a child's finger. Colton however, treasured his CTR ring, and here in JULY, a full six months after he first received it, he would wear his CTR ring every day. He would talk about it and point it out, he was so proud of it. So... he was devastated, but it is such a small thing, I didn't think we had any hope of backtracking and trying to find it. We assured him that we probably had one laying around somewhere at home, and if not ... we'd try to make a special trip into Deseret Book just for him. He did calm down (not quite enough to SMILE for the photo) and sure enough, I found a replacement ring in one of the kitchen drawers at home. Colton put it on, and hasn't taken it off since. Cooper, seeing Colton's ring, also requested one, and I actually found a second ring in the drawer too, so I gave it to him ... I just checked, it is not on his finger ....

If you scroll down through the last several pictures, you might notice something appearing with Keaton in each shot ... a yellow baseball cap ... as of last night .... this too, is lost. Keaton is very sad. It hasn't been gone too long, and he probably just took it off at a friend's house, or even somewhere in our own, so I have high hopes that it will turn up. He's been wearing it constantly for the past two weeks, so I think ANYONE around here would know who it belongs to if it were found. Hopefully, you'll see it reappear on Keaton's head in upcoming photos.
