Peek-a-boo!
by YverV on Jan.17, 2009, under family
So this is the incident that gave me the inspiration for the blog.
Dani was off taking photos of some celebrity somewhere and I was busy putting clothes away and doing regular end-of-day cleanup. Quick peek at the clock tells me it’s about time to start herding the cats kids.
Wait a sec… Reese is watching TV but Ella is being quiet… too quiet. So, off I go to find her.
I search and search but to no avail. She wasn’t in her room playing. She was not in my room watching TV with her brother. Was she at her colouring table? Nope. Colouring ON the couch? Nope. In the kitchen looking for scraps? Nope. In the bathroom putting lipstick on the cat? Nope. My calls of “Ellllla, Eeeeelllllaaa! ELLA!” became more and more frantic and I could feel that father-of-the-year award slip right out of my fingers.
At long last, I heard a giggle. Ella? Giggle. Elllllla? Giggle giggle. Turns out she had plans to play a little game of Marco Polo. I finally tracked down our little explorer in her room:
Boo daddy!
and so a new game began… close closet door. BYE! Open closet door. BOO! Close closet door. BYE! Open closet door. BOO! Giggle and laugh until your stomach hurts. Repeat as often as possible
Best game ever.
20 minutes of BYE!BOO! and we were all tuckered out. Wave buh-buy Ella!
Everybody wins at this game!

Hello:
Very cute. Do you always let your kids tobaggan in the middle of the woods. Those trees look big.
I don’t see the cell phone picturs of me at New Model Army.
I will stay tuned for more updates.
