The Return of Dumbo
Anna's favorite stuffed animal (among a cast of thousands) is a blue elephant named Dumbo. (All of Anna's elephants are named Dumbo at some point.) This Dumbo disappeared not long after the holidays and Anna has been upset about it ever since. The first few weeks were especially tough, but even a month later, Dumbo still showed up in whines. Anna was convinced that Gigi and Daddy Wayne had Dumbo at their house, hidden.
Last Sunday, we all went back to our favorite Chinese restaurant after church. After we sat down, the waiter came over with ... Dumbo! No worse for wear - they'd been holding it for us for at least 2 months. Anna was "too excited to eat".
We'll have to go back to that restaurant more often. It's a rare treat to be recognized and treated so magnificently.
