Hide and seek with Stanley

When Stanley arrived, he was promptly introduced to all members of the family.

For some reason, Mini-E decided that she needed to give him a talking to. And a poke in the eye.

He and J-man got off to a good start. J-man can even say "Stanley". A fact that pleases my mommy heart very much.

Stanley and J-man sat in the big blue chair and watched a repeat showing of Go, Diego, Go! Save the Jaguar (for the bazillionth time). I think, for Stanely, it fell a little flat.

After all, he's a fellow of letters. He needs more mental stimulation. More -- action!! Something like a rousing game of Hide and Seek!! Lately, though, instead of just a regular game of hide-n-seek, it's more of an orienteering event. One person hides something and then draws a map to where the object can be found. Think Treasure hunt. G-man absolutely LOVES this game. He can navigate the house by way of a pencil drawing.

I'm very impressed.

He and Stanley got to go first.

Time to Hide.

Time to draw the map. Where's Stanley?

Peek-a-boo! Hiding behind a curtain.

Mini-E found him first.

After her aforementioned eye-poking, I mean - lecture, Stanley was a bit apprehensive.

I think he was afraid she's eat him.

He was right to be afraid.

Now- It's Mini-Me's turn..

Shhh! It's a secret!

Since Stanley is flat, he can hide anywhere - even under the white board.
G found him very quickly via the map that Mini-Me managed to draw with her left hand.

All in all, it was a rousing Game of hide-n-seek.

J-man still sees Stanley, who's watching and waiting for something exciting to happen, and he'll holler, "look! There's Stanley, Right there!"

Yep.

I'm afraid that Stanley came to visit at a most boring time, though. Things in the laundry pile are a bit normal.

I think Stanley might just be bored.

flat bored.
