Peek a Boo

Don't you delight in the smiles and giggles evoked from a simple game of peek a boo?

For those of you in the bah humbug crowd, don't cavort with anyone under two feet, or come from the seen but not heard school of parenting, here's how it's played.  "I see you" you say, and make your face visible. Hide your face again, a few seconds later repeat "I see you." 

Repeat until you think you might be losing whatever mind you may still have, can't bear it another moment and notice that your audience has drifted off for a bit of a snooze.

Just like on line dating.

Surprise, I looked at you! As I will again later today. And tomorrow. And the day after that. 

Smiles of recognition? Oh, I know you. You're there. You're not. You're there. 

I've considered dropping a note. "Perhaps a game of tag?" I could suggest.  

Nah. 

I look at it as a memory and visual recognition fine tuning exercise. Precisely what the game of peek a boo is intended to do. That works for me.
