Tease

I suppose with her family background there wasn't much chance of avoiding it. Eliza is a thorough tease. She often likes to play "chase" when I ask her to come here and tries to make a break for it when I'm trying to put on a diaper ( we do have a rule that she can only do this once her bum is clean) I've found that things are a lot more fun when I play along with her , get out my " I'm going to get you voice"  and crawl after her both of us laughing all the while.  It's rather cute when she scoots a few paces and then looks back to see if I'm coming after her, scoots a few more; looks and scoots again. Usually at one point she stops so I can get her. I suppose its her game so we play by her rules. The other day it was bathtime so I was filling the tub. Eliza heard the noise and very excitedly comes to check it out. I reached out  my hand and said something along the lines of " come 'ere time for your bath!!" So she laughs and starts scooting toward me. Now her bedroom is right next to the bathroom and at the last second she fakes me out and makes a dive, as much as you can dive scooting in your bum, for her room.  I had been had, and she knew it, and thought it was very funny.  I was simply surprised that she would plot against me like this. So of course I had to chase her down, pick her up, and give her a thorough tickeling before proceeding to her bath. Stinker.
