Here are some recent pics of shoo shoo for your reference. We called this moment between Gus and Paloma "Shih Shoo Shoo"
Life with two shoo shoos is complicated. We used to have one for the car (car shoo shoo), one for downstairs (play shoo shoo) and one for his crib (night night shoo shoo). Now I'm shuffling two shoo shoos between the car, downstairs and his crib. So tonight, for instance, we were about to read books before bed and he said, "Where is my shoo shoo?" Well, the one from his crib was now in the laundry after an unfortunate aiming issue in the bathroom. So I had to schlep to the car to get the only alternative. That means tomorrow I have to be vigilant about remembering to grab a shoo shoo before leaving the house.
Like I need something else to remember! I've got a company move tomorrow between the library and make-up swim lessons.
I went ahead and searched online because, really, how are we expected to live in these conditions? But I'm a little worried they don't make shoo shoo anymore. And by "they" I mean "Just One You made by Carter's." This little sub-brand is sold exclusively at Target so if they don't have it, I'm shoo shoo screwed.
I suspect they now make this newer version of shoo shoo:
I mean, it has the same look and feel of shoo shoo but instead of stars it has whales. Could he be fooled? Methinks he is too smart.
But wait. As I was searching for images I happened across some shoo shoos on eBay! I think I'm going to bid on one that only has one person at $.99 so far. I've never bought anything on eBay before, but for this, I feel compelled to try. If I have to wait up late at night, right before the auction ends (like I've seen Frank do) and bid way over the amount shoo shoo would ever cost in a store, I will do it! And while I'm at it, I might get two more. It will be nice to have a spare in case this crisis situation ever happens again.

I suggest you recruit Grandmother for special shoo shoo assignment. I bet she'll have 3 in the mail within days
Yes, Grandmother was on it right away, texting me from Target! She confirmed that there were two of the whale ones left and that they were very similar to shoo shoo. BUT then…a miracle…I FOUND the third shoo shoo! It was hiding in plain sight behind the train table :)
Oh good!! Glad you didn't have to drive 10 minutes west of high prices, but I figured Grandmother would be on the case.
Somehow reminds of going to the fabric store with you to find replacement bindings for your shoo shoo, and you picked out brown ones. :-)
So happy shoo shoo is back!
