The Case of the Missing..

Ladle!
You know how sometimes things just seem to disappear right before your eyes? Well LL seems to make this happen a lot these days!
She LOVES to put things in the wrong places. Her favorite "hiding" spots are trash cans, cabinets, toy bins, boxes, etc! I always find things in random spots and I just always have to cross my fingers that I will find things before the mister takes out the trash.
Well, a few minutes ago we were playing with LL's new kitchen and her precious little pots and pans that boyfriend gave her for Christmas. She was making some yummy soup for me in her pot and mixing it with her ladle. All of the sudden, she goes into the corner where some of her toy baskets are and the ladle disappears!! I have looked in the baskets, in the corner, under the bed, etc. and can not find it anywhere!
I am now convinced that if I did not lose my mind before child, it is now offically lost..along with the ladle of course (hmm...maybe I will be able to eventually find them together somewhere)!
**Update***--Eventually found it--in the tub! Forgot about that hiding place! Not sure how she got it into there!
