Hide and Seek

Last night, we played Hide and Seek with Adam for the first time. He will come up to you and say Chase Us! and we are meant to chase him around the dining room table. Uncle Bobby does that with the kids all the time and last night Todd even got him to pick up his play dough (his new obsession) by saying he'd "chase" him.

Then Todd thought it was a good opportunity to introduce Hide and Seek. He went into the living room and counted to ten and I took Adam into his room and held him behind the door. He was too excited and not quite sure what was going on. Daddy went into the dining room... Is Adam in here...? Adam started giggling. Be quiet, I told him, we had to let Daddy find us so we can "surprise" him! By the time Todd stuck his head into Adam's room he was laughing in my arms saying "find us! find us!". It was adorable.

Next, I took him in the living room to count and we went to look for Daddy. When he figured out that he was in the corner of his room covered in one of the quilts from his crib, he started laughing and got so excited :) and yanked that blanket right off!!! Next, our turn to hide again and Adam wanted to be in the same corner, of course. We hid under a blanket, too but he just couldn't control himself. He wanted to jump out and say surprise, especially because Abbey "found" us right away :)

Daddy and Abbey hid next, in the living room next to the chair and it took Adam a while to realize it, despite the fact they were in plain sight!!

It was clear Adam was more into finding than being found...so I hid next, behind the time out chair in the dining room. He thought it was hilarious when he found me there. Abbey did, too, and decided to "hide" behind me and just grinned ear to ear when Daddy "found her".

Adam told me to hide again and so I hid in his room again and it took a while for him to find me. He was so excited when he did....and one more time, I hid in Abbey's room and he was running all over looking for me. It was adorable. Seriously.
