Hide and Seek

Monday, August 18, 2008


On many Sunday nights, we play a few games of Hide and Seek. Most times, the kids get super hyper and run all around the house getting as worn out as possible (which is our goal). This Sunday was no exception! However, Jackson is getting much better at hiding. He used to always pick the same three spots and usually give himself away before we even got there. If you take too long trying to find him, he'll usually run out to announce where he has been. There were a few times where we'd be walking around the house saying, "is Jackson in his room?" and then you'd here "NO!" coming from Grace's room. It's progress!
As the night went on, he started getting more creative with his hiding spots (and stealing a few ideas of where mommy was hiding the time before). On the last round, we walked into his room to see the little feet coming out from under his bed. After standing in his room, for a good minute, trying to control our laughter, he finally tried to curl his feet ever so quietly in. Way to go Jackson, your Hide and Seek skills really are the "bestest."

Love this. The boys used to play like that which was so fun and much more entertaining. Now, they TOTALLY get it. We were just playing this morning... and it literally took Parker and I 20 minutes to find Ryan. He had crawled under his bed (there is a ton of stuff there) pulled a blanket around him, and didn't make a sound. Even when I started pulling stuff out... I didn't find him the first 3 times. I wonder if he would have fallen asleep... maybe I should have seen how long I could have gone.
