She forgets where she puts stuff so we get our presents at random times when she finds them.
Mom also does this. After the holiday is over and she cleans up all of the holiday mess, she always finds one or two gifts for me hidden somewhere. That is always the best.
libkitty, I'm going to accept your advice as truly expert and put the dog to work!
Laura was right about the microwave, though. That's only good for the feed corn. Actually, the shower is probably the most effective, but the dog sounds like more fun.
eta: I'm off to walk home and get wet and cold myself.
sigh...
Oh cool!!! The girls distracted me for a minute and then I saw the articles hit my account and I was confused for a moment. I'll check them out - THANKS!!!!!

Yeah, this happened at our house a lot. Also generally a good number of gifts that did make it under the tree didn't manage to get labeled, so that was somthing of a guessing game, too.
My Mother is notorious for putting gifts in "a safe place" never to be seen again.
You need a cat or a bag of feed corn to microwave.
No microwaving the cat!
Punctuation is our friend. hee.
My DH is famous for losing a couple presents, and then finding them and giving them to me around April. Or when we move.
I have a mom question for the hivemind: While we were in Germany, Mal started doing this headshake thing, like he was trying to shake his bangs out of his eyes. We thought it might be an inner-ear reaction to the altitude, but he's kept it up. Now he does it voluntarily: when we shake our heads at him, he shakes his back. So we're pretty sure it's mimicking, but it's still odd. Should I mention it at his checkup? Has anyone else seen their kid do this?
