For those of you who didn't know, we recently had our car stolen. Unfortunately, it was in front of Anna and I, but other than being knocked over, we were unhurt. Anna has been processing what happened and asking a lot of questions, just trying to understand something that is incomprehensible even to me. "Why did the bad man take our car and knock us flat on our backs like a bowling pin?" she asked. She also told Alex and I that she was going to rescue my car. She said the police were going to find it. I was a little less optimistic. However, today, 2-1/2 weeks later, the police did indeed locate my car. While the inside is not looking so pretty, these things can and will be fixed. When I picked up Anna from preschool she started in with the usual questions again, so I told her I had some news. The police had found our car and it was being fixed and we would have it back soon. Anna's face broke into a huge, excited grin and she said, "See, Mommy? I promised you!" Yes, you sure did, Honey.
