Lost & Not Found

Quite Sunday afternoon yesterday -- three of us were sitting on the kitchen table doing nothing. Then we decided to go to Home Depot to get some supplies. We got a tube of wood filler for our recent project and two 9V batteries for Sienna's remote-control school bus.

Exiting the store, we grabbed the Second Cup coffee and Sienna got her biscotti treat. Lui carried Sienna out of the shopping cart and we started walking over to the parking lot. Just at that moment, Sienna started shouting, "stuff, the stuff." What stuff? I thought she was talking about the stuff falling off the Christmas tree decoration at the store front. She kept screaming… Suddenly Lui realized it was the stuff we bought at the store. We left the bag in the cart.

We walked back right away to retrieve the bag. It was too late. The bag was already gone. We figured somebody must have taken it knowingly. If that was the case, we won’t be able to locate it anyways. So we went back to the store and bought what we bought one more time.

Sienna was so proud of herself because she was the one who reminded us. There is nothing unusual about us being so forgettable. It's kind of unusual for Sienna to be so aware of the environment. At such a tender age, she has already been a cue card person in our life!
