hide and seek (well, sort-of)

Bridget's first game of hide and seek was a week ago. Okay, it wasn't a real game of hide and seek, but she did love it. I was at one end of the hall and Al was at the other, playing with Bridget on the floor. We didn't have the hallway light on and it was nighttime, so it was a bit dark. Al asked Bridget, "Where's mommy?" and she looked up and spotted me. Since I know she loves playing peek-a-boo, I ducked behind the corner and stuck my head out. She just laughed and laughed, and then turned around to look at Al as if to ask, "Are you watching mommy, too? Isn't she funny?"

While Bridget's head was turned, I darted down the hallway and into her bedroom. The next time I popped my head out, I was closer to her--she found that quite amusing, too. Then she decided to chase me. I ducked back into her dark room and--Zoom!--she crawled right past the door and then stopped at the end of the hall, looking around. I wasn't there, of course. When I stuck my head out again, she came at me again--and passed me again. It was hilarious--Al and I were laughing pretty hard. After about the third time, she stopped outside her bedroom door and sat there, looking at me. "Found you!" probably would have come out of her mouth if she could talk. So fun!
