Please help a little lost lamb find his way home!

. . . . he’d turned up in lost and found (despite them having my number, they hadn’t called me) . . . .

The idea that you leave your number (for something you’ve lost, or something you’ve asked to be notified of, or something you’ve placed an order for, or something you’ve returned for repairs, etc) and then somebody will ring that number is very optimistic.
I’m glad it all worked out anyway. 🙂

I actually dug out ‘original Lamby’, which I took away from him when I realised he was chewing the eyes out – I cut out the eyes and sewed buttons on so he’d look like lost Lamby….but, he wasn’t fooled and we’ve had two very restless nights 🙁

But, it seems we’ve had an Easter miracle and Lamby has risen from the dead!! I went out to Costco this afternoon prepared to get down on my hands and knees and look under every shelf in the place if I had to……but, miraculously, he’d turned up in lost and found (despite them having my number, they hadn’t called me) – so, a huge thankyou to whoever turned him in 🙂

I’ve learned my lesson though – if I ever have another child it’s just going to have to learn to be tough from day one – no more comforters in this house! *lol*

Do you think that buying a new toy (and sewing similar eyes on) would fool your son? If the new one is cleaner than the old one tell him someone gave it a bath. This seems a good time to tell a lie to make him feel better and an 18 month old is probably going to believe it.

Good luck finding the original or a suitable replacement.

Nuh – won’t be fooled. You could buy a similar one and say that it’s Lamby’s cousin Lambkins who has come to keep your toddler company while Lamby is away for a while. Lambkins will be able to talk to Lamby like an imaginary friend! By the time it’s time for Lamby to be back, toddler will have found a new attachment to Lambkins … and is probably just too young to remember the detail after a year or so!
