On the playground, Little Boy loves to play a hybrid game of tag/hide-and-go-seek. Only, he is always It. He seems to believe that if he can’t see me, I can’t see him. I play along with this. “Where’s Little Boy?” I’ll call, watching his little legs quiver with excitement as he hides under the slide.
I’ll pretend to look for him for up to two minutes, just to build the anticipation. And then, I’ll pounce.
He’ll scream — high-pitched, full of joy — and take off into a sprint.
Repeat 4, 5, 6 times, or until Mommy’s sandals break.
