Then I say "but what if the building's on fire and you can't breath?" For that she does a skootch - crawls on her belly across the floor. These have been a lot of fun to show people.
One she came up with on her own - and she only does it with her daddy - For graduation at her classes they give them giant Milk-Bones. She doesn't eat them but likes to play with them. One day my husband scratched it along the carpet and hid it behind the door. She followed the scent and found it. Next thing we knew she had hid it in another room, behind a cabinet in the corner. She came back to daddy and looked at him like "your turn". They play that game all the time. Sometimes he thinks he's hidden somewhere where she'll never find it. He'll go look later and it's gone - she's found it an re-hidden it. One time she gave up on him finding it in the spare bedroom under a table with a table cloth on it. She came and got him and took him to it. She's a trip! | Oh my gosh that's the cutest thing ever! I'll have to try the stop, drop and roll thing. |
