My Invisible Grandchildren

I saw a website that had the best children's hide-n-seek hiding places. There were pictures of kids behind curtains where their legs aren't covered, and there was even a kid standing behind a skinny pole. Young kids think that if their eyes are covered and they can't see you, that you in turn can't see them.

My Grandkid's ages are one and three, and here are their best hiding attempts. First, our one year old granddaughter. She has no concept of hiding past peek-a-boo. The first picture is her hiding in plain sight. She can't see us, so of course we cannot see her.

This second picture was her first attempt to hide inside something. Unfortunately she does not understand that the hiding place would be better if it had sides, lol. Not bad for a one year old though. It also doesn't help that once she was successful getting in her hiding place she would scream with excitement.

Now, our three year old grandson has the right idea to hid behind something, but needs to be a little more thoughtful on what you hide behind. I think his thought process in this first picture was if you hide behind something and close your eyes then you are invisible to everyone else.

In this next picture he was getting a little better at hiding most of his body. Once his head was under the chair he must have thought he then became invisible.

I love this next picture where he put his face right up against the table leg. He couldn't see me, so of course I couldn't see him. The best part was that when I showed him the picture he said,"Meemaw, I can still see part of my eye!" He didn't notice the rest of his body showing, or that his little hand is on the outside of the table leg for all to see. So, if I can't see his eyes, he is invisible. Right?

This last picture is by far my favorite. He had the right idea this time. He is completely covered on all sides, but there is just one small problem, the storage bin is clear. How cute is that boy?
