Instructions for Fun Game:
Take 2 chairs and put them next to each other with their backs facing the stairs. Hang a blanket over them. Instant Puppet Show setting/Peekaboo location/Stage!
It was Chase’s idea to do a puppet show this morning, and he was even the one who thought of setting up chairs with a blanket over them. Charlotte and I sat on the ground below as instructed, playing the part of the enthralled/easily entertained audience, while Chase went to town. He sat on the stairs, using his hands and even his feet for “puppets.” Charlotte loved seeing just his hands and feet peeking over the blanket. Chase would occasionally pop his head up or crawl out under the chairs, much to Charlotte’s suspense and then utter shrieking delight. He added to the audience’s excitement when he hopped up on the chairs to jump and dance for a while on the “stage”. What fun! I mean, who wouldn’t enjoy watching “The Chase Channel” (as my mom likes to say). In my opinion, the cutest thing in the world is a little boy actively entertaining his baby sibling.
(Later, Chase had friends over, which is the #1 daily desire of his entire existence. They did another puppet show with little paper bags they had decorated. What fun! Hence the title of this post.)
