I just watched as Apollo quietly but in a determined manner walked over to stand behind the couch. Hercules stood next to me staring at the edge of the couch expectantly when Apollo's curly headed smile peeked around the corner.
"Boo."
I love three yr olds!

me too! And 21 month olds. Little Red's favorite game is hide and seek right now, but he cant wait for you to find him. He has to come out as soon as he hears you looking for him. It's hilarious. Although, the best was today when he decided to play hide and seek with his big brother's school binder. It was a good thing that I sent Isaac to see where he hid so we'd be able to find it again. LOL
