I looked at him in shock and said, "You lost him? Where?"
My mother-n-law was in the kitchen and she said that it was true. They were at Walmart doing a little shopping and he must've left him on a shelf. Matt and Scott went back to the aisle that Scott was in and it was gone! They even went back again. I even took Scott back that evening to see if someone had found him. I even called the next day in vain hoping that an employee had found him. But to our dismay he was never found. Such a sad day. That elephant was his beloved stuffed animal, just like a blanket is to some kids that is what his elephant was to him.
Please a moment of silence as we mourn the loss of a family member.
Here is a slideshow to remember our beloved elephant. (if you look closely in the pictures elephant isn't too far.)

Awww that's so sad!! Are you going to get a replacement elephant for him? Poor guy. :(
P.S. I am a friend of Matt's--we grew up together in EC but now live in Mesa. I hope you don't mind my stopping by and seeing what your family is up to! :)
That's so sad! I'm sorry for the loss. Things are always a big deal for kids too because it is such a part of their little world. I hope he can find another toy to love!
I am sorry to hear of your loss. It is a struggle to learn. Kellan lost his beloved "Matty" when we went to take family photos at a park. I told him to leave it in the car, alas, whenever we go to Grandma's house he talks about that park and Matty. Give Scott an extra hug for us.
