Three days after getting the new shoes, specifically after wearing them twice, she lost them. She has had over two weeks to locate them. We've looked everywhere and she knows she will have to buy a replacement pair if she doesn't find them. Why? she asked. Because we bought them and you lost them and you need two pair of shoes.
Today we talked more about this. Why she needs two pair of shoes is because come time to leave for someplace, say school or choir or anywhere, what if she can't find her shoes? Having a second pair is the answer. Also, it's nice to have more than one thing you put your feet in every day as well.
She's left them in the rain for days. She's hidden them under the bed so she could find them later, only she forgot she put them there. There are so many times we need a backup pair of shoes for her as well as for my son.
She has agreed it is necessary, but she was surprised when I told her she would not get her money back if she found the pair later. Why? Because we had to buy the pair a second time. If we had found them before buying a second pair, she wouldn't have to spend her money. But once it's spent, it's not un-spendable.
The Big Boy Update: My son had a little note card taped to his pencil when he got in the car today saying, "Vote for Davis". He decided David would be a good class officer and he is lobbying for him to be one of the newer students to replace him and his other two classmates as they step down after half a year of being officers managing the classes responsibilities.
The Tiny Girl Chronicles: My daughter wanted, begged, pleased for us to let her buy her brother a very expensive computer keyboard for his Christmas present tonight. Because he was her brother, she said. Because she loved him. And, because he spent his money to get her a big present last year. He did and we allowed that. So we let her spend her money to get him a nice present. He will be very excited when he opens it on Christmas Day.
