Every week at the library, Bastien gets a new sticker to place on his name tag. Usually they are rather small. But this week, it was a big, cheerful smiley face. Instantly coveted, I tell you.

Somewhere on the way out of the library it fell off of Bastien’s name tag. And all the way home I heard about it. Let me tell you. Its loss was stressing us all out.

So when we finally got home, I unloaded Bastien with great promises of better stickers inside the house. I then moved around to unload Hadley… when lo and behold the missing sticker appeared! Unfortunately, it was all wadded up.

And also, completely crammed into the roof of her mouth.
