sabertooth rabit took my baby
One day when Kade was just begining to roll Morgan ran out of the room. I ran and grabbed him but when I returned to the room…only leaving for a second or two…Kade was gone.
He was just laying on his blanket in the middle of the floor. Where could he have gone?
He wasn’t crawling then, he was just learning to roll. I thought someone may have stole him?After 15 seconds of pure panic I heard one of my favorite sounds, Kade cooing. In the seconds I had left the room, he rolled behind one of our chairs.
Please tell me I’m not the only Dad who’s lost his son in his own house

Remeber me telling you. You and your brother got lost in the kitchen cupboard with the flour. When you laughed I found you both white as snow. Wish their had have been digital cameras in those days.

Mark used to back up under the couch. We were never sure if we could get him out without llifting the couch.

No your not alone on that. With my two being 17 months apart I would constantly lose one or the other once the youngest started crawling. These events fortunately happened while my wife was at work so she never knew I had lost them, nor saw my panic stricken face the first time I walked back into a room and couldn’t find one of them. After a while I learned their hiding spots, or learned to listen for a few seconds before totally freaking.
As they have gotten older my panic has gotten worse. One day while outside I stepped into the Garage to get a tool, and when I returned (not but 5 seconds at that) they had both gone behind my boat and were exploring beside the house. Well I just freaked and started screaming for them. I did this for probably 30 seconds until I saw them behind the boat, but it felt to me like an hour. My heart was pounding, I was sweating, I could feel my face flushing, I was totally and completely freaking out. I scolded both of them for not responding when they heard me. Their answer to why the didn’t come to me when I called them was, “We were looking at something.” Since then if I yell for them they yell back, regardless if they come around the corner I at least have them trained to yell back.
They will often step around behind my wife while at the store. They are still with her, but in a spot where her peripheral vision cannot see them (behind her legs, etc.) and it freaks her out every time. To say the least they spend a lot of time in the buggy and not walking with us because they are apt to do that.
