Where's the other sock?

For a few months now, I wondered why I could not find the match to several of Collin's socks. Yes, I did think that the dryer was "eating" the match like it did daddy's socks and did not think anything more of it. A few weeks ago, I think I figured out what happened to some of the socks. One night while getting Collin ready for bed and packing his bag for a day with Mimi the next day, Collin pulled out the bin of socks that are stored in the armoire in his room. He has been doing this for months. He likes to dump the socks out and then put them back in the bin one by one. If there is time, he dumps the bin back and puts the socks back in.

This night though was different. He took a pair of socks, crawled over to the Diaper Champ (where the dirty diapers are collected in a garbage bag before throwing them away outside) and then put the socks in the Diaper Champ. He did this a few more times before he took the handle and turned the lid over almost all the way. I was able to save the socks before they were combined with the dirty diapers. Mystery solved!!! My guess is that Collin had done this before and we did not notice when we put the dirty diaper in the lid of the Diaper Champ before turning it over. Oh well, the socks were getting too small anyway.

Too funny.. doesn't Collin know that socks do not grow on trees.
