    Unhappy Can't find game piece

    DD#1 has "Four in a Row" (version of the game 'Connect 4') - I turned to see DD#2 (almost 18months) with piece in her mouth. I told DD#1 we had to pack it up and in doing so have discovered a piece missing. DH & I have turned the house upside down and we can't find it have rung the medical hot line for advice and will take 18 month old to the dr tomorrow.

    Am vainly hoping the piece (size of 20c piece) will still turn up somewhere......that there is some obscure place its hiding........

    DH is so grumpy now I can't see how she could've possibly swallowed it without choking!! but we can't find it.......

    Any thoughts on where to look to maintain my vain search for now??

    Feeling so so bad and DH is reminding me that its our fault if she has swallowed it

    I really hope you find it!

    In our house, everything is always found wedged deep in the back of the couch.

    Being that size, I think it would be unlikely that it was swallowed without you noticing.

    Everything in our house ends up in one of about four places:

    DS's walker/ride on toys (they have a little storage spot underneath the seat)
    Inside or underneath the sofa
    In the lego (Duplo) box
    In the bedside drawers of our bed - DS loves hiding things next to our bed.

    Sometimes things end up in my handbag or put away in DS's favourite kitchen cupboards, but since watching Narnia he only tries to put himself away in the display cabinet cupboard now.

    Oooh, did you check inside the video/DVD players? That's a favourite for some children.

    Woooohoooooo!!!

    I had to post the WOOHOOOOOOO!!

    Took decorations down today so pulled tree down..........what do you think I found in the tree?!?!?!

    One connect four game piece!! *somersaults and claps wildly*

    We were slightly puzzled as to why we found it so high in the tree to which DD#1 informs us NOW that she was simply DECORATING the tree. Yes. Decorating. Coulda told us earlier!!!!!!!!!!!
