Feeling bad

I lost one of Evie's baby spoons from China. It was the white plastic one with a bear in the bowl of the spoon. It cost me all of 2 RMB ~ I think that is about 20 cents. But she really liked it. We got it at the grocery near the White Swan hotel.

We went out to eat tonight, and didn't have silverware right away, so I took out a baby spoon to feed Evie. At the end, I went with Emily to get dessert, and they cleared the table and must have taken it. I asked our waiter to go look for it, and he did (twice) but never found it. They probably thought it was a disposable plastic spoon and just tossed it.

I feel kind of stupid for crying over a silly cheap plastic spoon, but it really bothered me that it got lost. I just feel that she doesn't have a whole lot of history, and the spoon was from her country of origin, something that we used and loved together. Is that crazy? She probably won't even miss it, but I think that I will.
