hide and seek with a 2.5 year old

Susie2005

For the past couple of weeks DH has been teaching DS to play hide and seek.  Yesterday it entertained them both for almost 2 hours. Over and over and over again.  (says a little something about DH's maturity level, right?)

Here's how it goes:

When DH is hiding:

DS: One, two, free, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, firteen, eighteen, here I come.

DS:  Daddy, where are ya?  I can't find you, come out now.  (starts disolving into tears)

DH giving clues from his hiding place:  Sammy, look in the (current hiding place)

DS:  I found you, I win!

When DS is hiding:

DH counts

DS:  Here I am!  (and jumps out from hiding place) 

It cracks me up every time.

That's what DS does.He hides and then immediately runs out yelling "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Then says "I sneaked! I sneaked!".Too funny.

That sounds just lime my 2.5yo son- we can't get him to stay hidden at all!  I love it

That is exactly how K plays, too!  She yells out this panicked "Daddy?!  DADDY!??!" and is almost in tears within 5 seconds, doesn't even look for him, and then declares herself the winner when he emerges. Looks like she's part of a large-scale hide & seek shark operation!
