[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 121199, member: 1550"] My son used to lose his shoes all the time in the summer. And I mean ALL THE TIME. He'd ever "forget" to bring them home from the park or "forget" where he put them anyways. He is fourteen, not two. I also find that the Lost in Found at school is half his things. Right now I don't buy him overly expensive clothes because of this and shoes are Walmart shoes. In the summer he gets REALLY cheap shoes because he usually goes out barefoot. As for the cell phone, I personally would make her use the land phone. Cell phones cost too much to keep replacing. Even people with short term memory problems (I have a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) and trouble with short term memory retention--always, always, always have) and you can learn to put your things in the same place over and over again so that you really don't have to remember what you did with them. Another thing that helps me is to talk out loud. I know it sounds weird, but if I say out loud, "My car is parked in B42" I am much more apt to remember where I parked my car and not have to walk all over the parking lot...lol. I've learned to keep my cell phone in my purse. We won't start on how often I "misplace" my purse and how my kids got a shocking orange purse for me so that I'd never be unable to spot it...lol.
