It was the first ball we ever purchased for little e so of course it had sentimental value. But it grew to be a favorite -- the ball of choice in the stroller, the playdate companion. Ladybug ball was special. It was just big enough. Functional as a ball, but not too bouncy to get away. Besides, what's not to like about a ball that looks like a ladybug?
But then LBB was gone. Sure, we lose balls all the time, but somehow they always manage to find us. Not this time. No, LBB had been missing quite a while. I sent out emails to our usual playdate friends, "Has anyone seen ladybug ball?" Sadly, no one had. But then it was revealed that Jenny and Sy were missing their ladybug ball too. Could there be some sort of ladybug ball theif roaming the streets? I shudder to think about it.
We thought it was gone forever. But our beloved ladybug ball has returned home. Okay, turns out, he never left. He was hiding inside papa's tool bucket. How did he get there? Here's a hint: As soon as LBB was returned to his rightful owner, rightful owner, with a big smile on his face, grabbed ladybug ball, threw him into the big orange tool bucket and said, "BAH-DEES!"*
