Hide and Seek

In the midst of trying to recuperate, the girls have been creating some fun of their own now that Claire can crawl and Caroline scoots along. Typically, they will be in separate rooms, but figure out where the other one is, so they both start heading towards each other. Once they meet at a corner, they play "peek-a-boo" and scream and laugh. Claire loves to hide her head behind the wall from either Caroline or me.

Caroline will "give up" and turn around, only to have Claire reveal her location and squeal!

Peek-a-boo!

This is where the games can go south pretty quickly. Caroline will purposefully scoot up to Claire and not let her pass, and then they will both swat at each other. Today, I was out of the room a second, and when I came back, they both had their hands at each other's throats. Neither one was fussing, but they both looked guilty as sin when I caught them. I'm noticing that there is not a pushover between the two of them - they seem very evenly matched as far as their aggressive streak goes (they definitely did not get that from Paul!).

At least Claire can move a little more quickly than Caroline and get away from her -but I'm sure that won't be lasting too much longer!
