Snow Day Miracle

Schools were closed yesterday, so my daughter was home with both grandsons. Late in the afternoon, after wrestling with the boys and dealing with handymen all day, she finally took a break and laid back in one of their recliners. At the same time, Jonah was laying on the floor in front of the recliner watching shows on the iPad. And that's when the miracle happened.

Jonah's dear lovey, Cream Bear (a.k.a. Creamy), has been missing since January 2. Turns out, poor Creamy was stuck in the mechanism of the recliner for 19 days!

So how did Creamy get in that position? Well, Jonah's been known to walk around the house in the early morning hours when everyone else is still asleep. We suspect, during his January 2 early morning walk, Jonah laid on the recliner for awhile and Creamy slid down between the arm and seat cushion.

Jonah was unbelievably brave the whole time Creamy was missing. I asked him today if he ever cried and was told he did "inside." I, my daughter and Jonah's brother were not as brave. Emily said she cried three hours the first night. And Elliott and I shed a few tears too.

Today I gave Creamy a new festive bow. In the picture, you can see that bow as well as the creative patching I've done over the last six years. Creamy is truly loved and we're all so happy he's back.
