numb bum. in missing the beach

I'm sitting on the sofa with a 3yr old childminded child asleep behind me and a 21 month old minded child on my lap. My bum is numb! 21 month old is finally happy - she fell asleep in the buggy and slept for an hour and a half and when she woke up she was oh so sad. I've never seen her sad in the whole year that I've been looking after her! I finally realised that her Ba was missing. Ba is a small, square blanky with a bear head in the middle and she takes Ba EVERYWHERE! We had spent the morning at the children's centre a mile away - a mile on footpaths that are nowhere near the road... I phoned the childrens centre who couldnt see it so I was getting ready to walk back again when the centre phoned back - they had Ba! He was hiding in a toy box!

I put sad little girl in the car along with 3yr old and drove back. She was so happy to see her Ba once more :)
