Just an update....holy moses it's a miracle....the black belt that started this whole thread has been
found 
Trace was playing ball by himself when the ball went under and behind a chair....now if that happens he goes nuts until he can reach the toy....so helpful mom that I am....moves the chair and there, my friends, was my belt. "Someone" put it there, I dang sure didn't...but it's found, found, found
