Mine is way easier now he's a toddler. He's great fun and a cool little dude. Every stage has its own challenges but in my experience, it's getting better and better.

Fired car keys out the letterbox so they were sitting invitingly outside the door (the door faces nearly directly onto the pavement outside) very close to the car for hours.

I've found stuff in the bin too.

Numerous stuff like sunglasses, CDs and even a single trainer have just disappeared so I reckon they're either hidden somewhere or may have went into the bin.

Took out the sky card (and hid it) and tried to bash a credit card into the empty card slot on the sky box before.

On a nicer note, he's sneaked fruit and biscuits in my bag that I've discovered when I get into work.

Ouch! That looks bloody sore. My wee buck is dreadful for beating everything with his blocks - he makes no distinction between the floor, me or a table.

My niece likes to flush the toilet, when I'm sitting on it.

Lost a set of keys and about 3 months later spotted them down a drain at the bottom of a down pipe at the edge of the patio. He must have sat there for ages putting each individual key through the tiny slots in the grill.

Another time I was doing some gardening and he was "helping me". When I'm not looking he picks up a hand spade that had a long handle for leverage. Spots a "birdie" swings around hits me in the side of the head with the edge of the spade and I topple out of the flower bed and lie stunned on the grass as he stands over me and says "You Finished? Daddy! Daddy! You Finished?"

My 20 month old hides cutlery and other bits and bobs in my subwoofer speaker. she also takes off her socks and feeds them to our dog, and cracks up laughing.

I agree. It can be difficult alright (my little man has recently taken to climbing in a big way and throwing tantrums) but it's so great in other ways and he's much more fun now then he was when he was a baby. He's really trying to talk now, and he loves dancing and having books read to him etc... and I'm more likely to get a night's sleep!!

One set of house keys and an ATM card are still missing since last month.

Car keys disappeared recently after packing mum and two younglings into the car. After a long and sweaty search of the house and surrounds (with an increasingly noisy car) they were plucked out of the coat pocket of youngling number one who was just "minding them" in her car seat.

years ago before we renovated old house, there were some nicely spaced gaps between the floor boards. I was dying sick once day so bundled myself up on couch with son playing around me. I knew he couldn't get out of the room and that everyone was safe ........... I didn't count on him getting my credit cards and notes out of wallet and "posting" them through the floorboards . I'd forgotten about it till I read the previous posts.

I couldn't agree with you more - I have in the past followed him just to see what he was capable of and it was frightening.

Glad you found them - this was the exact reason I started this thread.

This is the exact reason I started this thread. But I have the added benefit of knowing I am not alone and also I get a laugh at night before going to bed!!!

Have you checked your sky box and your dvd or even in between!! you may find your card there. Alternatively go down on your knees at the same level as what your child can see and check that way. I know its a bit extreme but thats how I found my keys.
