Lily teaches Natalya to play hide-and-seek

I went over to Kristine's last night to watch Lily and Jasmine so Kris could go to a meeting, so Lily took the opportunity to teach Natalya how to play hide-and-seek. Here's how it went:

Lily: I'm gonna play hide-and-seek with aunt 'talya. (she calls her "Aunt Natalya" because she calls me "Aunt Brandy". She's a little confused. :))
Me: I don't think Natalya knows how to play hide-and-seek, you'll have to show her
Lily: ok
Lily: Aunt 'Talya, you want to play hide-and-seek?
natalya: OK! Hide-and-seek!
Lily: ok, cover your eyes like this [Lily puts her hand over her eyes]
[Natalya smacks her hands over her eyes]
Lily: now count
...Natalya starts counting: 3,4,5,6,7...
Lily: then come find me!
Natalya ...8,9 [as she runs after Lily with her hands over her eyes, still counting!]

I was laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face. I finally grabbed Natalya's arm and held her and told her we had to count to ten then go find Lily. So we did. Then I had to show her how to "hide". I showed her to hide in the tent they had set up and so every time after that, she hid in the same place. :D

When it was her turn to seek again, Lily came tearing down the hall and hid in the office. I could hear Natalya counting, then her voice, "lily?" "Lily?" "LILY!" Finally she came down the hall shouting for Lily. I said Natalya, you have to find her, she's hiding. So Natalya walks over to the little Dora couch and picks it up, "Lily?"

Oh my gosh. I haven't laughed so hard in ages.
