Hide and Seek

The other night Shawn and I heard Nicolas and Lexi playing Hide 'n Seek. Nicolas started getting frustrated because Lexi (being two years younger) wasn't getting the concept that hiding in the same spot every time wasn't fun for him to find her... jumping out right away also took some of the fun away. Oh... you also can't "hide" in plain site. Lexi was confused at why he was getting frustrated. So I decided to step in and be the "brains" in the operation. I started hiding Lexi!

Now THAT was fun!

She is only three. She is small. And she is bendable!

The first spot was inside our big red beach bag. If it wasn't her giggling that would have been a much longer hiding spot.

The next spot was inside a kitchen cabinet. Now that one lasted a long time. I was shocked at how long she stayed quiet in there even though it had to be dark. Even Daddy couldn't find her.

Then we went for the trashcan. No worries. Trash day was the next day and I took out the actual trash bag. This one had everyone laughing!



Then she hid in the net bag that holds our balls.

Nicolas hid under furniture.

His best spot was when I put him inside the back of the couch (behind the seat cushions and under the back cushions). Lexi even sat ON the couch to think at one point when she couldn't find him. Shawn and I were laughing so hard!

Alas, she got bored after a while and was off playing something else.
I am looking forward to playing again in another part of the house so we can think of new ways to "Hide the Lexi"!!!
