I was putting Millie to bed today and Elinoa decided to come in for story time (Bear and Mrs Duck)
At some point, she disappeared from the room and I thought nothing of it. I then went to read to Yoav and say the 'shema' with him. After 8 pages of his book and the full recital of the 'shema' and 'hamalach', I then went to see to Elinoa...except she wasn't in her room!
After looking in my bed, the playroom, the lounge, the basement and the garden, I started to worry. After checking all these places again, I was starting to get really worried. Trying to stay calm, I thought to myself "What would they do in 'Blue's Clues' or 'Little Einsteins' or even 'Mickey Mouse Clubhouse'? They would go through all the options systematically and produce an answer by a process of elimination.
And thus Elinoa was found, sitting on the toilet in our en suite, where she had been stuck without toilet paper possibly for about half an hour. Her explanation? she knew I had put Millie to sleep and didn't want to shout for help in case she woke her up!
