One of the only things that works every time – guaranteed – to make Leah smile (and eventually laugh) is to play peek-a-boo with her when changing her clothes. As her shirt goes over her head, I act like I have no idea where she went.
“Oh, NO! Where’s Leah?! Where’d she go?!?! She was just here….where could she have gone?!”
As I pull the shirt over her eyes, I shriek with glee: “THERE SHE IS!!! THANK GOODNESS!” She loves it. It’s so pure and innocent – I think she really believes I don’t know where she is, and then she just knows she has surprised me when she reappears.
I’m so enamored by the purity and simplicity of her idea of “fun.” I wish we never lost that.

OMG! Story and I do the same thing! She loves nothing more than for me to pretend like I don't know where she is. I'll say....Where is Story? Is she in the living room? Is she in the bathroom? Nope, there she is!" And she LOVES it. She wants to play it over and over. :-D
this little story made me smile.
this is olivia's favorite game as well!
funny the little things that make them
bubble over with that sweet laughter.
She looks like "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" ...only without the earring.
I could eat her up. Her and my daughter both. Sounds like a yummy dessert. Cute little cheeks to nibble on!
