[quote=Anonymous]OP, definitely keep asking your 4 yo.  I have 5 yo twins and since they were 2, they have always had a fascination with putting things inside of other things.  They cut up paper and put it in envelopes.   They collect boxes from all around the house and put things in them.  Things just disappear.  Fortunately, we have trained them to try and keep track of things which works about 40% of the time.  We ask if they've seen X and often one of t hem will say "Oh yes" and take you to the most unlikely places to find that a spoon is on the dining room window sill, the mail is in the candyland game box in the playroom, the item you just bought from the store is in the seat of the Thomas ride on toy sitting in the front hall.

Kids learn by doing and preschoolers experiment with anything and everything.  It is quite possible that your four year old had some wonderful idea of how to be helpful and put Mommy's box somewhere, then completely forgot where she put it when you asked her.  But I've found that if you periodically keep asking about something that is still missing that you often get different answers and after asking several times, may actually get the answer of where something is.[/quote]
