Hide and Seek

Zach taught Austin how to play hide-and-seek last week.  It’s Austin’s favorite game now; he wants to play it every time we’re outside.  Here’s how a typical game might go.
Austin:  (while wriggling under the castle slide) Let’s play hide-and-seek! 
Zach:     Okay, but you’re supposed to wait to hide until I count.  I can see you right now so that’s not hiding, that’s just being. 
Austin:  It’s okay if I hide here.  Count to 10. 
Zach:     Okay. (closing eyes) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8… 
Austin:  Daddy!  You have to count by the tree!
Zach:     (going over to the tree) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!  Hmm, where could he be?  (exaggerated searching around our small yard)
Austin:  Here I am!

So, we’ll keep working on the rules. J

Let's hope he doesn't get TOO good at hiding too soon.
