I lost my cellphone this weekend after going to the park on Saturday with Little Monkey and the hubby! Oh how sad I was. Let this be a lesson to you – if you have photos and videos you have put off uploading from your phone, please do it. I thought I had lost videos and pictures of Little Monkey from when he was a little baby forever. I had just assumed that I put my phone in the diaper bag which I always do, but I realized I hadn’t seen my phone since the park and started to look for it. No luck! I looked in all of Little Monkey’s hiding places, checked my car, and even had the hubby go back to the park to look if it was left behind. It is hard with my phone not always ringing when it should – sometimes it only vibrates…thanks to a certain little person who has dropped or thrown it a few too many times. When I gave in and thought my phone was lost forever, I started to cry thinking about all those pictures and videos gone for good. Little Monkey came up to me and rubbed my face. Then patted my head and told me “All better.” And then gave me a kiss. Oh what a sweet boy. As a last ditch effort, I called my friend Heather who was at the park with us, I was hoping that maybe the diaper bag had spilled out some contents in her stroller while I was carrying Little Bear (her nickname for her son) around.
Sunday I got a phone call from my friend, Heather, saying she saw me get in the car with my cellphone after the park because I pointed at it and told her I would pick up my phone if she called since it was charged. Now I was puzzled. We went straight back home after the park. How could I have lost my phone between the park and the house. How aggravating…at that point I was starting to feel crazy. I couldn’t think of a different place I would put my phone…I always put it in the same spots – diaper bag, in the armrest of my car, or it is in my pocket. While Heather and I are discussing the “missing” phone – my hubby decides to try to call it again to see if maybe it is still in the house. My hubby starts yelling at me to come help him because he can hear it vibrating somewhere around the sink but can’t find it. Horrified I prayed that my cellphone didn’t make it into the garbage disposal…that would be very bad and take talent from Little Monkey because we always keep the guard in place…but you never know it could happen! We followed the buzzing sounds to a slim cabinet space next to the sink that I use to store oddly shaped bags like little totes from Bath and Body works, big totes from Old Navy, or over-sized bags from Toys’R'Us…I know I am weird like that. We heard the buzzing and I look down at the Old Navy tote and realized it was glowing at the bottom of the bag. There was my phone! Little Monkey hid my cellphone in this cabinet, inside of the bag!!!
So I’m not crazy…I just have to keep stuff out of his reach…and kitchen counter tops are not included since he has learned to bring his motorized jeep over to the cabinets and climb it to grab whatever is on top – which would be how he got a hold of my cellphone. As I just finish this up, I glanced over to see Little Monkey emptying out the contents of his diaper bag to get to my Godiva chocolate bar. Geesh!

Kids love to surprise you with the new things they've learned. Bonus is that it was only in the cabinet versus the toilet.
So glad you found your phone! Our children have a way of making us feel crazy at times but they also make us feel wonderful with their unconditional love.
Enjoy your day.
When Heather told me about this on Sunday I laughed and remembered back to when my little guy hid Greg's cell phone and keys in the bottom of his toy box. We were both up at 3:30 in the morning searching for them but his phone was dead which was horrible. I know exactly how you felt, I just hope you didn't have the huge mess to clean up like I did.
I have so been there! lol My kids are always surprising me! I am glad you found you phone, my best friend recently dropped hers in a porta-potty ick! lol

Sneaky sneaky! So glad you were able to find it!
Sounds like there is never a dull moment around your house
Moments where we discover we're really not crazy are such sweet moments of relief! Little Monkey sounds like a busy beaver!
Glad you were able to find it! Now I hope you uploaded all of your photos by now!
I am so happy you found your phone!! It's interesting how much we rely on our tech devices and when we lose them life stops for a brief moment.
Smooches,
