The kids love to indulge in a game of tag or hide and seek these days, but mostly at home since the temperature has dipped.
Yesterday, I intended to bring them out for a short walk and and some fresh air. So it wasn't the usual routine for Kristin. Actually, the intent was to expend Bryan's energy. I could really have spared her from the cold. Anyway, cold air would do her runny nose some good too.
I sent Bryan to his room for his afternoon milk and strapped Kristin down to her buggy for hers. If she was in her room, in her bed, she would have knocked out immediately. When Bryan finished his milk, he came running out of his room looking for meimei. But he just couldn't figure out where she was. In the mean time, Kristin kept all quiet and was tucked away in one corner in the kitchen, grinning away. It wasn't long that Bryan enlisted Dad's help to look for Kristin. Daddy went up and down the hallway leading to the kitchen several times to hint to Bryan, and finally this girl let out a chuckle.
When Bryan had an inkling that she was in the kitchen and went looking for her, Kristin let out a "BOO!" and greeted her brother with a broad grin. What a cheeky girl! Her patience in waiting out for her brother and keeping all mum really amazed me. Think she's seen enough of hide and seek games going on in school to be a pro now.
On hindsight, it was an extremely BAD idea to let Kristin have her afternoon milk in her buggy. She cried for 5 minutes and refused to drink milk in her room when it came to bedtime. I should have known better to sabotage her routine. Hope she doesn't conk out in school today. I would love for her to go back to her afternoon nap routine after the weekend.
