I am almost finished with this week's blog post.

Meanwhile, my 3-year old neice (grand niece? what do I call my niece's daughter?) taught me to play hide and seek.

Here's how:

💠 I tell her where I'll hide.
💠She closes her eyes and counts to 10.
💠When she reaches 10, she opens her eyes and looks for me.
💠It does't take long to find me.
💠Then we laugh.

I suspect I am supposed to tell her where I will hide so she doesn't feel scared when she opens her eyes and doesn't see me.

@Teri_Kanefield Grand niece. You are her Great Aunt. In more ways than one.

When playing with young kids, we don't make the rules, but it's imperative that we follow them 😄

Sounds like a delightful time.

@Teri_Kanefield My step grand daughters love hide and seek, 3 and 5 years old. The “then we laugh” is always the best part!

@Teri_Kanefield Grand-niece is correct.

@Teri_Kanefield She should develop object permanence soon, at which point she won't be scared when you disappear.

@meredithw I thought object permanence had to do with it.

I called it a sophisticated game of peek-a-boo.

@Teri_Kanefield When she's ready, maybe the next step could be to give her two or more possible hiding places to look for you.

@bjb @Teri_Kanefield - that sounds like a sweet way to up the ante a bit without going too far.

@Teri_Kanefield I called my mother's aunt great-aunt, so I guess great-niece?
