This morning I ended up playing two games with my little girl – both of them disasterous. The first was “I spy”. Fine – except that she can’t spell yet. She knows what some of the letters are – she stopped calling the letter A “the triangle” a while ago but apparently doesn’t know that fridge begins with F. I don’t know where she picked this game up from (probably my Dad) but it didn’t do well – she just looked at me as though I was dribbling on the carpet for most of it.
Next was Hide and Seek. She knows how to play this one. I counted to ten and then pretended to find her – she always hides in the same place. After that she told me to hide and counted to ten. I went and hid in the airing cupboard upstairs. After a good 20 seconds of looking for me she got bored and went and did something else. Two hours I was in there!
