The Taskmaster

We've been getting a kick out of M's newly learned hide-n-seek game lately. He has adapted his own set of rules to make the game more "fun" for all involved.

Hide-n-seek Rules (from the mind of a 3-year-old):

1. The 3-year-old "Taskmaster" is in charge. No arguing.
2. Mommy/Daddy have only 3 counts to hide ("Give us at least to 10!" we cry. No way. :)
3. Mommy/Daddy can only hide where the Taskmaster tells us to.
4. Mommy/Daddy must count to 10 while the Taskmaster hides.
5. The Taskmaster will hide in the same place every time--underneath the side table, covered by a pillow.
6. The Taskmaster will giggle excessively as Mommy and Daddy "attempt" to find him.
7. The Taskmaster reserves the right not to hide at all, but instead come running at the counter after counting is finished.
8. All players must shriek upon the game's ending.

lol. This is too fun. :)
God bless you today!!

That's so cute. Spencer has started doing the same thing although I'm sure I could even define the rules he plays by. This is such a fun age right now because we have conversations together and he wants to play games and he definitely has his own likes and dislikes. Enjoy!

I agree, very cute! I love that he hides in the same place over and over again and the excitement he has about playing the game. Ah, to be 3 again!

You're hilarious! :) I literally have tears in my eyes I'm laughing so hard! What fun you guys are having -- and so nice that he's sure to hide where you'll find him everytime! Happy Mother's Day!
