With kids, everything is fun. Everything is a game. Kylie, now 19 mos (where's the time gone?!), loves games. Hide and seek is a favorite. She's a fantastic seeker and gets very excited when she finds me... even if I only hid around the corner. She's not so good at hiding. I cover my eyes, count to 10 and she's literally still standing right in front of me or right behind me. And yet, like a good Mommy, I still pretend that she's not right there and continue to search all the other hiding spots before I realize that she's walking right behind me the whole time!
Lately, though, Kylie loves to discover new and interesting places to sit. She has places to sit - like her little rocking chair. But she likes to take all the diapers out of this little basket, and then sits there. She laughs her little head off for a while, but soon realizes she's stuck and can't get herself out. "Momma!" We have another little chuckle and I hoist her out of the basket.
I have to admit, I would never think to sit in a basket. But it's amazing to me the things that children will come up with, and just play! Somewhere in growing up, I feel like we lose that wonder and fun. Time to time I still see glimmers of that with me & my husband as we play with Kylie. Almost like we're saying "oh yeah! I remember..."
