Squirrel Boy.

I mentioned in the sidebar that I had lost possession of ALL four of Liam's chupies - I have never misplaced those chupies before & I sure felt a sense of defeat in losing them.

Today while showing my mom our portable car seat for Argentina, I noticed that Liam had put a soda (seltzer water) bottle screw top into this hole in the box. It's a hole about the size of a birdhouse opening & I think simply allows the consumer to touch the fabric or see the pattern - totally useless in other words.

Upon further inspection, I discovered TWO of the chupies squirreled away in the box via the viewing of the fabric hole. At first, I just glimpsed one & then after I dug it out, I realized that a second one was hiding behind!

When he did this, I have no idea - let alone the fact that he did it twice. Especially after I would repeatedly ask him where his chupies where & he would actually walk around looking for them. He did not hide them at the same time either because we do not allow him to bring his chupies outside of his room but I folded a little tiny bit (to which he took full advantage of) and allowed him a chupie downstairs when he was under the weather. So he knew where his chupies where because he hid them there, not once, but twice and I am totally not buying this innocent act he's going to try & pull on me.

This kid cracks me up though - and I'm just thinking now I should probably look there for the missing puzzle piece that he just received this evening so it's not like it's been missing for days!

Little squirrel boy, for sure.
