Last year, I wrote about a toy of Zoe’s that went missing for several months. (Just as I had given up hope, the little blue ring turned up.) Well, this past spring we lost something else: a pair of Zoe’s (beloved) pink-and-white butterfly shoes – which you can somewhat see in the March picture below. We took them on a trip to Pop Pop and Safta’s, and they disappeared on our last morning there. We did an extensive search of our room before giving up and deciding that Zoe (who had just developed a habit of taking things and hiding them) probably tossed them in the garbage can or diaper pail.

Fast forward to yesterday morning, when I get a call from Q’s mom. “Guess what I found!” she said – and, sure enough, Zoe’s shoes had popped up (or more accurately, fallen out) when she was going through her closet. (Zoe had hidden them in one of her purses on the floor.) Zoe is long past size-5 shoes, but we’ll definitely hold on to these – if only for a laugh.
