Hide and Don't seek?!

I decided it was time to teach K hide and seek this week - I mean proper, count to ten whilst the other person hides, then go and find them, hide and seek!

So to try and make it self explanatory I ran from the living room where K and I had been sitting together and hid in the bedroom beside the bed.  K came looking for me and eventually found me! She thought it was hilarious and said "Me hide!"  So I left the bedroom and she proceeded to "hide" precisely where I had been.  (that was fair enough I mean she's only 2 and I didn't tell her she needed to go somewhere different).  So I came and counted out loud and then told her I was coming to find her.  So I go all theatrical and was saying "Where's K gone?!" so she said "I'm in the bedroom!".  When I got to the bedroom she said "I'm hind the bed!" the popped her head up so I could see her and once again thought it was hilarious!  Then she said "I'm count!" so we tried again.  I hid and she came and found me, then said that it was her turn to hide.  So I returned to the living room to count and could hear her footsteps coming towards me.  When I got to "1" I uncovered my eyes and she shouted "BOO!" and was stood right next to me!  lol!  I think it's safe to say she's not yet ready for the"real" hide and seek :)


Edit 10-09-10 So it seems my girl learns fast!  Yesterday I wa sin the kitchen and I called her to see what she was doing.  She didn't answer...I called her a few more times and still got no response.  So I went to each room in turn and glanced in - no sign of her!  My immediate thought was had she somehow got out the front door - checked that but no way she could have got out so went to check each room again...I walked into my bedroom and was going to look behind the bed when I heard a cheeky little chuckle.  When I looked up she had squeezed herself down the side of the bedside cabinet!  She said "Mummy I hide!"  I had to laugh - this girl is too much sometimes!

Edit 12-09-10 Ok so she's getting too good at this now and is starting to scare mummy.  I no longer like this game!  We went to get in the car and whilst I was putting the bags in she started to walk off towards the bin storage area we have outside (it holds all the rubbish bins for all the households in our block).  I called her and she just started grinning and continued walking the burst into a run...so I ran over there as she was running the perimeter  and decided to go the opposite direction to cut her off.  When I got round the other side she wasn't there so I thought she'd turned back so I did the same, but still no sign of her - so I start to panic slightly.  I called her name and heard a very quiet "uh huh?!".  So I thought she must be inside the bin area.  I went in but couldn't see her so called her name again and once again got a very quiet "uh huh?".  That when I found her down behind on of the tall bins!  She said "I'm hiding!" and came out grinning!  Who the heck told me to teach my child (who is a little too smart for her own good!) this game?! (Sigh...)
