Cast Away
Infants are so self-contained that, in spite of all cautions to the contrary, Toddler Summer comes as a shock. Everything starts getting catapulted out of the stroller and people begin to trot after you, waving discarded shoes and beverages that you failed to notice because you were trying to stop the cascade of cereal that gets pitched overboard in a Hansel-esque gesture. (Folly, because the dog, who is usually in your company anyway is doing his best to digest the trail that would lead home.)
And what of the poor shoes and cups that don't get noticed?
They become the Orphans of Summer.

Oh the Orphans of Summer! They are almost as sad as the Lone Mittens of Winter. :-(
