Peek-A-Boo

John loves the "diddies" (kitties) so much. Oliver is very patient with him, allowing John to hug him by lying on him bodily.
John is figuring out peek-a-boo now. Yesterday I was in our bedroom reading and hoping John would bumble around in the room and play by himself with minimal attention from me. I began hearing a very quiet and sweet "Mama!" coming from our bathroom. (Don't worry, the toilet is in a separate room, door closed for safety.) It was so quiet that I didn't pay much mind but by the sixth "Mama," I thought I'd better go look. (John often talks to himself and says "Mama" so it isn't necessarily that he's calling me.) I walked in and found him hiding in a tiny corner with a baby blanket over his head. So I asked, "Where's John?" Then he pulled the blanket off his head and burst out laughing. So we had to repeat that several times. It was so cute. (Here he is in the kitchen.)Lately he has been taking pieces of paper out of my desk drawer (I have to install child proof latches) and then wrapping them around his head . . . because if he can't see me, I can't see him. So he sits there with a piece of paper (paint color samples) wrapped around his head and thinks he's invisible.
