Oh The Games We Play

I am really sad to see Dancing with the Stars ending on tv because Case loves it soooooo much. He is adorable when that show is on! He looks at the tv and yells, ‘Dance! Dance! Dance!’ Then he comes over to me, grabs my hands and we proceed to ‘dance’ together with the stars on the show. He even knows what kind of dances to do. If it’s a slow song, he expects to be twirled and spun around. If it’s a fast song we stomp our feet and he sits down on the ground waiting for me to pick him up and fling him into the air. Just some good old family dancing fun. Case is also really getting into certain games. Right now his favorite game is hide and seek. It’s a hoot to watch. First of all he informs me he is leaving the room by saying, ‘bye.’ Then he usually goes into the closet or bathroom and shuts the door. He waits a second or two and then begins to call out for himself, ‘Case, Caaaase!’ That’s my cue. He has hidden long enough and I need to begin looking for him. Once I find him, he says, ‘hello!,’ shakes my hand, says ‘bye’ and the whole game starts over again. Case also like to play name that bodily noise. His favorites are burps and toots. And recently he has been chasing me around the house with his plastic snake hissing at me until I run away scared. I'd forgotten how much fun playing can be! Children are great for the soul.
