My tot has developed a new tactic recently - asking me to chase him. He runs around laughing maniacally, and if I don't chase him, he stops wherever he is and says, "Come on, Mum! Chase me!" It's cute but also annoying when we have places to be!My little monster also loves playing this game - especially when I'm in a rush to leave the house! It's like some weird toddler law that the most important times to run away are when we're already late!
The key is definitely distraction, but it can be hard when they're onto you. I find having different types of snacks works best - like you said, something crinkly usually does the trick for a minute or two! But then I'm left with a whole bag of crackers to empty into his mouth because he knows that's mom's desperation move! Haha.
I'm going to remember your cracker idea for those moments!
