The mystery of the missing remote

Kory and Kaitlin share a love for remotes. For a while, we had about 5 remotes  just to turn on the TV. Forget about watching a Bluray!  That would require an additional 2 remotes!  So Kory “simplified” things and bought 1 universal remote to control everything – which I’m pretty such is more intelligent than I am!  So Kory moved his old remote upstairs in the play room.  Thus begins the caper of the missing remote control …

The Suspect

Using skills I learned as child watching Daphnie & Velma on Scooby Doo, I figured that it was in a toy bin and would turn up during clean up time.

After a few days and no remote, Kory was wondering where it had ran off to, and I had looked everywhere.  Then, Kaitlin's TV remote went missing and I knew we had a mystery.

Looking Guilty

Apparently Kaitlin loves to hide things in her secret  hiding place. I watched her gathering balls and blocks around the  playroom and then they would disappear. So I was patient and planned a stake-out to catch her hiding more treasures.

Watching her I finally found her attempting to hide large stuffed animal behind the TV in her secret place! I found many missing pieces of toys games, puzzles and BOTH remotes!

Mystery solved!  But … she’s still really cute!

Dancing Girl

Kaitlin and I went to Gymboree this morning. She got moved up a level so she is now the youngest in her class. She had so much fun today running around the gym and crawling, sliding, and dancing. We have continued the trend this afternoon and have been playing away. IMG_4950IMG_4959

After all that playing she took a LONG nap! She looks so tired!
