Hide and Seek

This is m's favorite game to play lately. she really likes to hide in our cupboard. this morning she managed to get past the "child-proof" lock on one side of the cupboard and exclaimed, "Mama, I hide!" "Ok," I said, and went about my work. A minute later (that's a long time in a two-year-old's world) I looked around the corner and she was still in there. Perplexed as to why she hadn't screamed for help or called for me to find her, I went over to the cupboard. I opened the door and caught her RED handed with her face covered in evidence and hands in the bag up to her shoulder. In the dark of the cabinet she had found our stash of peanut-brittle. She was feasting on it behind closed doors! I exclaimed, "Montana! What are you doing? How did you...what are you...NO! You can't just gorge yourself on peanut brittle!" What a stinker! She started laughing and I did too, I couldn't help it...she wasn't doing it to be naughty, she'd never done it before nor had we ever told her she couldn't. It hadn't occurred to me that she would try such a thing if I let her "hide" in there.
Que cera cera. The things you learn having a curious two-year-old. Gotta love 'em.
