Well after pulling half the damn house apart with no luck I decided to leave things alone & let him come out when he is ready. I walked into my son's room tonight just as it had gotten dark & there he was the little bugger - curled up happily around the foot of my son's bed! I would have SWORN he wasn't in that room as we looked EVERYWHERE! Now I'm wondering if he's been curled up inside the doona the whole time. Just so glad I found him!!!
