Sherlock and Mycroft, childhood headcanon?

Sadie: Once Sherlock was old enough to walk, he developed a habit of hiding Mycroft’s things…anything ranging from pencils to articles of clothing (shoes were a frequent choice, and it was usually only one of the pair) were in danger of being pilfered.

Mycroft could always sniff out his hiding places in pretty short order, however, and missing items never stayed missing for long. Except for once. The day Mycroft’s eyeglasses went missing.

Both he and Mummy searched high and low, in every single little hideaway that Sherlock had been known to squirrel his stolen treasures away, but nothing turned up (save for a load of buttons, one of Mummy’s scarves, and a tie pin that no one had ever seen before). After two hours of searching, they both threw up their hands and gave up…Mummy said they would just have to get another pair until the old ones turned up, then Mycroft would have a spare.

…Mummy was the one to finally find them, though. After changing Sherlock’s nappy.
