Lost and found

Little Enrique loses his shoes multiple times every day.  I am not exaggerating even a little bit.  After several lost shoes I decided to stick our return address labels on the bottom of his shoes.  They stay legible for about 2 weeks and then need to be replaced. 

Last night was the Homecoming Football parade in Iowa City.  We put little Enrique in the backpack and walked downtown.  When we got there we discovered he was missing a shoe.  I traced back our steps but did not find the shoe.  Poor little Enrique was with out a shoe which meant he could not get down and play. 


 This is our return address labels.  I faded out the address for any weirdos that might be reading this.
 We took this picture when we discovered he was missing a shoe.
 Although little Enrique was shoeless he enjoyed the parade.  Especially the dum dum he is eating.
I was so sad about losing little Enrique's new shoe.  I was planning on him wearing them in our family pictures tonight.  During his nap I went to go downtown to retrace our steps and look for his shoe.  When I opened our door I found this.

Some dear, thoughtful person found our shoe and returned it!  Thank you who ever you are!
