P is for Peek-a-Boo

Welcome to my Blogging from A to Z April Challenge for 2019! The A to Z Challenge is a blogging event held each April. Bloggers create posts from A to Z beginning on April 1st and ending on April 30th. There is a post scheduled for each day of the month (except for Sundays) with each day corresponding to a sequential letter of the alphabet.

P is for Peek-a-Boo! Here we go...the absolute simplest game to play, but oh my how much the Boy loves it!

We started out playing this with him as a baby. The simple hide behind your hands and then pop them open to say "peek-a-boo". Then it progressed to putting a blanket over him or ourselves and lifting it to do the same.

As he has gotten older, the game has advanced. We're now moving towards a simple hide-and-seek. He stands in the corner with his hands backwards over his eyes when he steals his brother's binkie and thinks we can't see him. It's adorable. He will also run and hide in cabinets to play. He opens the door and tucks his little self right in. He's not afraid of the darkness or the confinement in space. He'll sit in there happily and then suddenly pop out his cute little face and say "boo".

He instigates this activity all on his own now. He finds it incredibly fun. He will wander around the house with an afghan over his head, stumble over, and then lift it to "boo" me randomly during the day. He's also taken to hiding himself in the pantry both before and after nap. He doesn't mess with anything on the shelves, just tucks himself inside and stands there before giggling when I open it to expose him.

We neither encourage or discourage this play on most occasions, we just play along when he's ready to do so. It's pretty fun to watch him find new hiding places or way to conceal himself. Score one for imagination. Who knows, we may have a future champion Hide n' Seeker on our hands.
