Sophie's Missing

This is a picture from earlier in the day when Jillian was at pre-school.  Sophie likes to sit by Bridget but then Bridget will get her in a strangling choke hold and I have to rescue Sophie.  But Sophie just keeps coming back.  She and Bridget think it's playing I believe.

About a half hour after the girls had gone down for their naps we noticed Sophie was missing.  First we crawled around Jillian's bedroom in the dark calling for Sophie since she may have gone to sleep under the covers.  We searched under the bed and in the closets-nothing.  Then we did the same in Bridget's bedroom.  Then we searched the whole house, in every nook and cranny. We wondered if she jumped the fence (almost impossible) so started searching the neighborhood.  Julie and Brock started looking in the woods and Bob went around asking the neighbors and walking along the road.  After about an hour and half of this Rick came and started searching too.  All the while I was hoping Jillian wouldn't wake up to bad news.  About a half hour later Jillian woke up and came in the kitchen and said, "Sophie is stuck."  We looked and sure enough Sophie had gotten in the small space in the hide-a-bed where the mattress is stored and couldn't get out.  Jillian saw her head peeking out of a crack.  Still can't figure out how she got in there.  We were sure happy Sophie was here and it was a happy ending.
