Today we reside to play hide and seek.
I counted to fifty while he went to hide in one of the three hiding places he always picks.

"Ready or not, here I come" I called, as I slowly made my way to the sofa. I looked down there he was two little feet sticking out from behind the sofa, accompanied by muffled laughter.

"Oh I can't find you anywhere!" I exclaim knowing the idea that he'd hidden well would cause him to jump out of his hiding place in excitement.

"Right" I said "Time for bed."

As I tucked my son into bed and kissed him good night, a small figure appeared at the bed room door.

"Mummy " It whispered " you didn't come and find me."
