Hunting Down Harry

After spending quite a while cleaning bathrooms today I
thought I'd better check on the guys. A head count only
produced two out of three. Hmmm. Harry was missing!
Then I noticed the baskets that hold the raincoat linings,
hats, and gloves had been removed from the hall closet!
The closet door moved a little, so
I grabbed my camera and called his name.

Yep! There he was! Too bad he can't talk

or I'd ask him who he was hiding from. :)

I'm just glad he was still in the house!

I wonder if we should try a game of hide-n-seek!

  2. My grandchildren used to hide in the closets, a little like hanging the blankets over the chairs in the living room, and playing tents !
    The expression on Harry's face is priceless.....

  3. It would be so nice to know why he was in there. And it's great that he was safe, of course.

  4. Mr. Fox ~ If I had to guess, he was hiding from Spencer, who bosses his brothers around ALL the time. :)

  5. Jo ~ I used to love making those blanket tents...and my boys did, too when they were younger!

  6. So glad he was still in the house. I can imagine that glimpse of terror you must have had when you realized he was missing.
    Now that we know he is safe and sound I need to say this: He. Is. So. Adorable! I love that look on his face. Clee loves to close himself in closets, too. What's with these two? :)

  10. It sure is a relief when you find them safe and sound. My daughter gets up in the middle of the night all the time. She'll tell you she's nocturnal. We had locks up high on all the doors in our old house. By the time we moved here she was tall enough to reach them but she has never gone out. She get's up and turns on the tv, does puzzles, colors, sings... We don't get much sleep around here.

    Oh, and that new food=gag reflex on the sidebar? I relate!

  12. Most kids like games involving hiding... What a lovely little boy!

    I found you through Brian's post about repossessing and been cruising through... Please can you give me the weight/mass of butter sticks so I can make your delicious fruit crumble. Thanks...

    Love your site!

  14. Makes you wonder what goes through his mind! And, seriously, Spencer is the bossy one? Funny, I guess because of the autism I never thought that one of them might be the most dominant, but it makes total sense.

  15. Christian ~ Spencer has always been in charge! :)

  16. Dawn ~ Spencer is the one who has always run away. He deserves a post all of his own. We, too, had the locks up high on the doors! Oh my.

  17. My cousins and I used to play elevator in our uncle's closet when we were young.

    I wonder what Harry was thinking too. I hope he wasn't scared.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I think it's funny that Harry moved the baskets to hide, leaving the detective work rather easy.

    He looks so young in the first picture and a little bit surprised that he was found.

  19. great post.. and pictures speak a thousand words.. even if he cant,,
    Glad all turned out well..
    See ya soon

    ReplyDelete
  20. that is funny. do they ever play hide adn seek still? Perhaps he was imagining he was in train? :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm glad your moment of terror was short-lived.
    When my daughter was very young and we would play hide and seek, she would sit in a corner by the entertainment cabinet, cover her eyes, and say "You can't see me!"

  23. Whew! I saw the title of this post and was hoping he wasn't missing. Glad it turned out okay.

  24. Did you have a moment of fear???
    Love your new look...very classy

    ReplyDelete
  25. Nanny ~ No, I don't have the fear factor until I've searched the house and can't find him. The rattling door was a dead giveaway! LOL!

  26. I always loved hiding in the closet, guess he does too! ;D

  27. Do you know why we find you so inspiring? Because you put that post under "autism/fun". I might have chosen autism/worry or autism/lost. I had a few moments when my kids were hiding and I couldn't find them. Worry,yes, fun, no. Only in hindsight can I now add fun! Way to go, Betsy!

  28. Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day...love your blog too!!! I can relate to your hide-n-seek...we played that game 2 years ago and we had to get help from the neighbors and the police to find my little guy...thank the good Lord he was fine...but boy the drama never ends.
    Blessings to you and yours,
    Steph :)

  29. Awww, so glad you found him but his look says that he wants to keep hiding, as it's so much fun!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh, I meant to add that I love the new look here, Betsy; very fresh!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Funny! Now, if Spence would have turned up missing would you have been a bit more panicked??

    LOVE the new look!

    ReplyDelete
  32. what a cutie. glad you found him...they do love hiding from us don't they? Love your new blog look!
    xxoo

  33. That must be a unsettling moment if you are missing one.... Harry looks so innocent peeking out of the closet..

    I'm sure your "memory Closet" is overflowing... :)
