I knew it was trouble the day Cali learned to open the Hermit Crab cage. Well, my worst nightmare came true this morning. Melisa walked by the cage and said "Mommy, where is Ernie?" My reply was, "In the cage, of course!" Melisa's reply..."Ummmm, sorry to tell ya, Mom, but he's not here." We both turned and looked at Cali who smiled and shrugged her shoulders. We asked her where she put the crab and she pointed to the floor and then ran away squealing. Who knows when she did this because Ernie cannot be found. We have checked in the ball pit, in the Little People Christmas village, in the Christmas tree, under the TV, in the Disney castle, and anywhere else we can think that Cali might have put him but we have had no luck. It looks like we have a run away Ernie! Let's pray he doesn't make a nice meal for Chin Goo or climb in my bed!
