Laughter

Laughter can heal so much.  A true laugh can cause a horrible feeling disappear or just make a wonderful feeling even better.  It is a great thing when you laugh so hard that it is a small challenge to breathe. My youngest daughter who is encroaching upon 6 months has become a pro for our family in the laughter category. As our family was enjoying time together and playing a game over the holiday weekend, she decided to join in the conversation.  She is quite the speaker, of course, it comes out as “Blah blah blah!”  But her talking is passionate and serious!

In the midst of talking, she will stop to make sound affects.  She sometimes make the most peculiar faces.  While making her latest speech, she started making a face that I will never forget.  She has learned to make kissing noises, and while trying to get the noise out she scrunched her face as if she licked a lemon.

I am one that could go on and on about my kids and all of the wonderful things that come with them, but I try not to shove it into people’s faces too often. But this particular instance, I had to share. As our baby girl realized this face was funny, she continued to make it and just enjoyed us watching and laughing around her. Laughter is a wonderful tool in life. I am glad my children are so good in helping us use it!
