he was lost but now he's found

Silas loves his ducky.  Last Tuesday his ducky was lost.  I could not find it anywhere: I looked in all the toy boxes and under every bed.  I even ran out in the snow to check in the trunk of the tricycle on the front lawn. No Ducky.

On Thursday the boys and I went to Pamida and amid all the Easter basket fillers was a pretty cute ducky.  Now, Silas is in no way dependant on his ducky to sleep or be calm or anything, but I missed his ducky because it was just so cute to see him hug it, carry it around, and say "ducky!"  So I bought the substitute ducky and he liked it pretty well.

Then, Today!   Kael knew I had been looking for the ducky, so when he opened up the trunk to his Lightening McQueen he ran right over and told me he'd "found the ducky!"  These pictures are from a few moments afterwards. 

This is the real ducky!
