A few days ago, I was caught up in yet another game of what I like to call Hide(ish) and Seek(ish) with Asher.

Playing this game is not hard, depending upon what you consider hard.

Finding him is hard only in the sense that I have to waste some time pretending not to see him before I “find” him.

Hide(ish)

This photo actually depicts rather advanced hiding compared to his old techniques, which involved going back to hide in exactly the same place over and over and over again every single time it was his turn.

Or just standing on our stairs and crouching a bit.

Another intriguing aspect of his method — giggling uncontrollably and saying things like “I’m over here!”

Which he still does.

The hardest part of hiding myself is the stretch of time it sometimes takes to find me if I go beyond the main 3 rooms in which we spend most of our time and in which exist almost all of our hiding experience.

And if I actually make any effort to really hide.

I wait and wait while he scampers all around me, giggling excitedly and missing extremely clear clues about where I am.

Like this one.

Seek(ish)

But he thinks this is fun.

Top rate fun.

And to hear that laugh…

You know the one — that authentic belly laugh — every time he finds me or I find him.

Worth all the time in the world.

No ish about it.
