Last night we lost Kaleb. We had placed him in our bed to keep him from constantly getting up, since he was having a hard time staying in his own bed, and sometimes he feels more comfortable in his mom and dad's bed.
Well, at about 10:30pm when we went upstairs to put him back into his own bed, he was gone??? We went in to see if he got back into his own bed, but he wasn't there. We checked Ethan's and Allie's beds, too, but he wasn't there either. We checked the hunting room, the loft, under all the beds, the bathrooms, the bathtubs, our closets, but nothing. We even checked Rylie's crib to see if he decided to bunk with her. We started to frantically call his name, hoping that he'd jump out and surprise us. Then, we started thinking that maybe he snuck down stairs and went out the front door without us knowing. He has done it in the past.
We were both about to start running out the front door looking for him, when we started to hear a quiet tap on what sounded like a door. We followed it to the upstairs hallway linen closet. We slid the doors open to find him half asleep behind the blankets stacked on the floor. He had crawled under the bottom shelf and fallen asleep. I can only imaging the embarrasement that would have taken place had he not tapped on that door, causing us to involve the police or FD.
Lesson learned: There is no need to panick until all closets and cabinets have been checked.

Holy Cow, I would've panicked too, thank goodness he was safe. Maybe he was just playing Hide and Seek, with himself.
Read my blog today... I can relate!
wow! That would be very scary. I have had that frantic feeling looking for Kaylee everywhere, that she was not in her bed sleeping, where could she be, to realize she was in her bed upside down and I did not see her.
That's too funny! Oh, all the fun adventures of having children, including the minor heart attacks they give us! :)
I wish you would have had the camera to take a picture of Kaleb in the closet. He is going to be trouble :)
