I’ve reached an exciting moment in motherhood. After three years of trying to entertain my kid by any means necessary, she’s finally old enough to play games. Now, we can while away the hours with Go Fish, Candy Land, or Charades, and I get to play too. It beats the heck out of jingling my keys while making funny faces.
One game my preschooler is still trying to master is Hide and Seek. Since she’s uneasy about being alone, she’ll often hide in plain sight. When it’s my turn to hide, she covers her eyes with spread fingers so she can see exactly where mommy is going. Our Hide and Seek games aren’t exactly suspenseful, but they’re still a lot of fun.
From the looks of these Hide and Seek fails, it seems we’re not alone! Take a look at these hysterical pics (for fun, I’ve taken a guess at what these kids were thinking while they were “hiding”):
You can’t see me if I can’t see you…Oh wait, hi Mom.

Maybe this is where my toys go when they’re lost. I’m coming for you, puzzle pieces!

This is hands down the best hiding spot ever. Maybe you’ll see me later, alligator.

Trying to find a good hiding spot is so tiring. Maybe I’ll just lay down for a minute.
