The babies have fallen in love with playing hide and seek. Except… there’s no mystery to how they play \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The game usually goes something like this<\/p>\n

Amelia and Luka go into bed time delay mode by suggesting a rousing game of hide-and-seek. Amelia usually says something along the lines of, “Mummy, Luka, Mummy, Luka you be a dinosaur. Me and daddy hide in daddy’s bed.”<\/p>\n

So let’s break it down… a successful game of hide-and-seek seems to involve<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dinosaurs chasing you down, and attempting to eat you. There’s a lot of cannibalism in our family as the babies are so sweet that cheeks, chins, tummies, and feet are regularly eaten. This has clearly translated into their play<\/li>\n
  2. Knowing where someone is is a requirement to the game<\/li>\n
  3. The “dinosaurs” need to make loud noises pretending to not know where the hiders are.<\/li>\n
  4. When the “dinosaurs” finally pounce on the hiders everyone squeals in delight<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That is, unless you’re Luka. You see if you’re Luka then you can’t wait, and you pull the covers down, pop out of the bed, and yell, “Mummy. I here!” over and over again until you’re discovered. And then you squeal in delight anyway.<\/p>\n

    What will those goofballs think of next to not have to go to bed. I can only imagine \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
