Aidan? Where are you?

This is one of Aidan's favorite games:


"Aidan? Where ARE you?" [You call out for him in a sing-song voice and pretend you don't know where he is. He could be sitting right in front of you or several feet away out of sight.]

"Where's Aidan? Where did Aidan go?" [At this point, Aidan is looking at you and smiling. He may watch you looking for him. You are pretending to look under the sofa, toys, pillows, etc.]

"I can't find Aidan! Aidan, where ARE you?" [By this point, Aidan lets out a squeal and cruises over to you. He will climb up on you (have your back to him and be on the floor looking around) and he will pat your back or grab your shirt.]

"Oh, THERE he is!" [Aidan laughs and snuggles up to you.]

I have found this game to be a great tool to get him away from an area he shouldn't be in (like the kitchen or near my plants).
