Nicholas likes to go on treasure hunts. He has a cool pirate toy that he got for his birthday. It looks like a treasure chest but the top and bottom separate into two pieces. The bottom piece has a compartment to put the treasure in. This is the piece that gets hidden. Then Nicholas takes the top part with him as he walks around looking for the hidden treasure. The top piece acts like a geiger counter to let him know when he is getting closer to the treasure. It has a lighted "X" that flashes blue when he is "cold" or far from the treasure, yellow as he gets closer, and then red when he is "hot" or near the treasure. It also beeps faster as he gets closer. Nicholas is pretty good at the game but he also got caught peeking as I was trying to hide the bottom piece!
Treasure found!
Nicholas also likes to hide the treasure and let me find it. However, he doesn't have much patience with me. As I'm just starting to walk around, he excitedly shouts, "No, go that way!" and points to the table. For the sake of the game, I try to ignore him and show him that I'm letting the toy tell me where to go. But alas, he can't stand it anymore and he goes over to the table and points underneath it and says, "Here it is!"
