Hide and Seek

The newest game in our house, is the classic game of hide and seek, and with a three year old it can get quite interesting. Standard rules, whoever is IT counts then announces "ready or Not here I come" and then seeks out the hiding place of those hiding. However a twist is to be expected when you are three and learning.

-N-: Dad wanna play hide and go seek?

-B-: Okay you hide and I will count...1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! Ready or Not Here I come!

-N-: (jumping out from hiding place) Here I am! (as if the hiding spot truly hid the little man to begin with, see)



-N-: Okay I will count you hide Dad.

-B-: (see him)



-N-: 1 (open one eye while squinting out of the other), 2, 3 (-N- close your eyes), 4, 5, 678, 9, 10! Ready or NOT here I Come! Dad where are you?




After a little time goes by...and an "I can't find him Mom", Dad makes himself a little more visible



and -N- begins to giggle when he catches a glimpse of Dad and runs to say I found you!

(I can still see you)

(That's better)

After a few rounds he was getting better at the game, but the suspense is just too much at this age to expect him to stay hidden for any small amount of time and now that I think about it, I am not sure I want him to be a good hider...
