Hide and Seek and Other Fun Games

Sullivan is all about playing games these days. He enjoys many of the old favorites like Hide and Seek and Peek a Boo along with his own made up games like “Night-Night” and “Weee. Well the other day Sullivan and I were engaged in an hour long Hide and Seek game which consisted of me hiding in the same place over and over again. I tease and test him with a “Sullivan where are you?” cry as he goes about the house looking. He likes to re-enact the moment of discovery over and over and over and over again and gets very upset if you hide in a different place. He will quickly scold you if you are not in the same place and remind you like a little director where the right location for the hiding game is then firmly instruct the hide and seek game to begin again with Mommy in the correct position. I caught a cute picture of him discovering me behind the bathroom door right before he did his “I found you dance and scream celebration”. Every now and then I can change location but only after he has exhausted the joy of rediscovering he old location. That first time is very funny to as he goes to the old location and when you are not there he gets this very curious face and begins the hunt. I always seem to stump him when I hide behind the drapes. He can hear my voice but never seems to find me. Fuuunnnyyy…..Our mothers helper Madeline is quickly discovering that when in doubt of what to do with Sullivan play a game of hide and seek. It is his favorite right now.
