Ring

William has a ring that he got at a craft fair, it’s the school colors and he likes to wear it to school every now and then. He wore it yesterday and lost it in the field during PE. I was in the building for something and saw the sub talking to William’s teacher about it. I told William we could look for it after school, and he held me to that.

We found the ring! :-0 NEVER, in a million years, did I think we would find it. After mad science we went out in the field. William did a full reenactment of how Friend 1 had the ring and exactly where he fell down, and how he fell down (we got the slow motion, replay) and the likely range of where the ring could have landed. (LOL it was a real physics lesson).

Natalie, good sister that she is, got on her hands and knees and was searching through the grass, braving any bugs that might be in her way. After 10 minutes of looking, William jumped up and said "oh wait, Friend 2 found my ring"! I asked him if Friend 2 still had his ring and he launched into the story of how after Friend 1 dropped the ring, Friend 2 found it, but then he dropped it and lost it:-0 (OMGosh)

So William reenacts this part, by following the path where Friend 2 ran in the grass then onto the side walk, and while Natalie followed and the two of them ran to the doors of the school, I looked down and there it was! I let them look for a little while longer, since they were being kind to each other and not screaming at e/o for a minute, then I let them know I had it. Of course I stood in the exact spot where I found it, cause they both wanted to know where it was. In the grass a ways, but just above PA and NJ on the map! LOL What an adventure!
