It's 10:07 PM on Monday night. I go upstairs to get ready for bed and check in on the kids to make sure they are covered up and ready for a blissful night of sleep. Ethan is sleeping peacefully, Ashlyn is snuggled in bed surrounded by countless stuffed animals, and Emma is...Emma is...not in her bed. She's not in Ashlyn's bed. She's not underneath her bed. She's not in my room. She's not in my bathroom. She's not in the kid's bathroom. She's not in the closet...okay, I'm getting a little panicky now. I solicit Josh's help. She's not in the toy room downstairs, not the kitchen, not the garage, not the living room....where could she be???!!! Back upstairs...there's one place we haven't looked - the toy box. Yes, my friends, Emma had climbed into the toy box, shut the lid, and fallen asleep. What could be more cozy than sleeping in a crammed box on top of your toys? Definitely not your bed.:)

That is hysterical, that would also leave me a little hysterical trying to find my child. I love the fact that she took the time to close the lid to freak you out a little more. Gotta love that Emma.
That is soooo funny, but scary first. I wouldn't have ever thought about checking the toy box! Michelle
That is priceless! What a great picture...too funny!
I panicked for you just in reading that and I'm sure no matter how long you looked for her seemed like it was ten times longer. Phew!
And I love the update. I hope you can't over feed the fish. I was having too much fun with that!
Hey you, AmyLyn here! Don't ask me how I found your blog because I am not quite sure myself. But now we can be friends! Pretty big surprise that Andy works at Omniture, it was a big shock for us too. Sorry I never called with the exciting news. Anyway, I'm glad I found your site. Your kids are so cute, they are growing up and changing so fast.
Auggh! I can only imagine the panic. Sorry you had the scare, but that is so cute that she fell asleep there! It just seems so much like Emma to me, I don't know. Cute.
Amy
