I’m sure you all remember Bunny-gate. We assumed it was at the Bounce place because my dad took her there and then realized the Bunny was gone when he got to his house. We had Bounce Magic looking for Bunny and they launched a facebook campaign to find her, offering a free pass for a month to whoever brought the Bunny in, no questions asked.

I asked my dad if he was sure it was there. He was positive. I asked him a few more times when no one found the Bunny and he swore up and down that the Bunny was not at his house. 

Eventually, we all gave up and we ended up finding another Bunny on Ebay for $30. We got it for Evie and lied to her about where it came from and she bought it. She thought she had her Mama Bunny back. She was so happy.

Tonight, as Eric was leaving to go to his friend Spike’s house, guess what was sitting on our railing, smelling an awful lot like my dad? 

The original Bunny.

Eric and I stood there looking at if for a full 5 minutes before we figured out what to do (or rather, decided to just give it to her). So we both walked into her bedroom and showed her what we found. Thank god we have a little girl who is too smart for her own good. She was overjoyed and instantly announced that the new Bunny was from the future. The future.

I’m glad she’s happy but now I’m going to have to talk to my dad tomorrow so I can find out where the hell he found it and so Evie can thank him. I haven’t really been talking to him for a while now but every once in a while he’d pick up Evie to go do something. That ended after he called me and told me to watch a show on drug addiction because he thought “it could help me figure out how to get help”. Eric was rightly pissed and told him to give the whole calling us thing a break. Talking to him is going to be a messy engagement and I’m not looking forward to it.

At least Bunny is home.

She completely believes the new Bunny is the old Bunny and her parents just used special Bunny shampoo to make her clean again. She was so happy!!! Ah, the wonders of the internet! Seeing he smile like that melted my heart!
She also informed Bunny that she better never leave without telling her again. Adorable.

Eric didn’t find the Bunny. He had a guy that worked there helping him look in every fold of every bounce house to no avail. Eric even made an announcement to all the people there about the lost Bunny and how he’d pay anyone who found it $20 and while he said there must have been 25 kids and 15 adults looking, no one found anything. He did get a lot of sympathy from the mothers there though.

He told the guy working to call him anytime, day or night, if it’s found. I guess they deflate all the bounce houses every night to clean so maybe…?

I honestly think maybe a kid took it home. 

If Evie had some random toy, I’d ask where she got it, but that’s me. If a kid did take it, maybe the parents didn’t notice.

Eric put two signs up advertising a monetary reward so maybe someone will see it and realize the importance of Bunny.

I honestly think I’m sadder than she is. Thankfully we bought a second Bunny back when we realized how important it was (and before they took them out of stores) so it’s not like she has nothing but it’s not the Bunny either. It doesn’t have as much love worn into it.

Has anyone read the Velveteen Rabbit? Evie’s Bunny was a real as it gets.

They went to the bounce place and they were gone for a really long time so when they came back I expected Evie to run to me and give me hugs with a smile on her face but instead, I saw a sobbing Evie run through my door.

They lost her Bunny! My dad tried making it sound like it wasn’t his fault because “it’s hard to keep track of what she does with it” but that’s bullshit. She’s brought that Bunny everywhere she’s gone since she was born and we’ve never lost it. We know how much that Bunny means to her and so does he. He just didn’t remember to make sure she had it when they left. 

They went back to look to no avail and he left his phone number in case they find it but Eric and I don’t trust the employees there to look very hard and I don’t trust that my dad did a good job either, so Eric just went back there. He’s going to search in ever crease and corner of that place.

She’s so sad and it’s breaking my heart. I want to cry too. That little Bunny is her best friend and now she’s gone. She keeps telling me she “feels bad” and then starts sobbing again. I hope Eric finds it because I don’t even want to think about the tears that will come at bedtime without her. 

She’s been holding a picture of Bunny since she got home and every so often she looks down at it and cries.

She’s three. When you take her somewhere, you have to pay attention to her Bunny. It’s like she lost her best friend, her security blanket and her healer of boo-boos all at once. 

God I hope he find it….

I just had to put this here so I won't forget it.

At sewing? Well I just did some amazing Bunny nose reconstructive surgery and I gotta say, I did a hell of a job. This was all under the watchful and tear filled eyes of Evie, the most guilt ridden three year old I’ve ever laid my eyes on. It was a complete accident mind you, but I don’t think she’d cry that much if she pulled the top half of my nose into a dangling loop.

I’m glad I could fix it. Hearing her cry like that broke my heart but the happiness after he was all fixed was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

We forgot both of her bunnies at my dad’s house. Evie’s head is going to explode. Eric is driving back to get them right now. I hope he get’s back soon!

This was why we bought 2 bunnies in the first place but she got attached to both of them, calling one Mama Bunny and the other Daddy Bunny. Maybe I can find another one online…
