Let it go....

I am sure this list will get longer, but it is the current list of things that have gone missing since Jack has learned how to walk.

1. The remote. 
This is the most recent item to disappear, and we have searched high and low for it. It is the one for the TV so when we turn on netflix we have to get our lazy asses up and change the input on the TV. Two thumbs up kiddo. 

2. His new Mally bib.
This item I am the most annoyed about. The dang thing cost $45 bucks and I expected it to last him a very long time. I got the toddler size because I loved the infant one so much I used it until he grew out of it and now I can't find it. He literally used it twice and it didn't leave the house, I'm not even joking. (UPDATE: apparently it did leave the house, I found it in our cabin in the toy drawer. YAY! No longer annoyed)

3. My credit card.
I am not entirely sure I can blame this on Jack. I am pretty sure it ended up in the incinerator at work. The benefits of having my card number memorized means it hasn't hampered my online shopping. Jack currently loves to empty wallets and slide cards between the couch cushions while maintaining serious eye contact.

4. The Key.
This item technically isn't missing. It just shows up in random places from time to time. It's a regular gold coloured deadbolt key that neither of us have any recollection of what it unlocks. Cord leaves it by his bedside table and Jack will put it in his pocket and re-locate it throughout the day. Today I found it in the utensil drawer. The other day it was found in the girls change room at our gym.

5. The hats.
This is where Jack is really winning the battle. He pulls them off of his head and tosses them from the pram. So far we have lost two toques (maybe even three), two ball caps, and one flat cap. We really should be enforcing a no hat in the pram rule but it keeps things interesting.

6. The sippy cup.
I prefer jack to drink out of stainless steel water bottles, so I bought him one online. I figured if he threw it from the pram I would hear it hit the sidewalk. Nope, the thing has disappeared into thin air. So I bought another one and it's less than a week old and he pitched it from his high chair in a water-induced rage and broke the lid. Frig.
