For The Love Of Laughing
Tags:Sometimes it can be painfully obvious to myself that I might be a little too serious.
Last night Anna I and climbed onto her bed to read some of her new library books.
The first one she picked out is called Walter The Farting Dog.
Okay, ha, ha. Sounds funny and silly and perfect for my three-year-old who loves nothing more than saying any number of phrases related to poop.
I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard.
And I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard with her.
And I know she liked that because I could see the surprise and delight on her face at seeing my laughing so effortlessly.
I bet we'll read it again tonight.

I have 2 boys and this subject brings on neverending laughter in our home. Their father isn't much help. I just try to roll with it and let them see me laugh too and those have been the best memories.
My 7-year-old is loving the humor of Junie B. Jones right now and the belly laugh is something I wish I could bottle up and keep forever!

Jonda - You have doomed yourself. You will be rolling with laughter or rolling your eyes while groaning for years and years to come.
I have a husband, a 25 yr old daughter, and twin 19 yr old sons. I really really missed my daughter while she was in college. I was me and ----THEM---- Shiver. Shudder.
Just you wait. Blazing Saddles. Beans + campfire scene. Nuf said. sigh.

That is so cool- don't you love it when we can see our children are excited inside when we share 'moments' like this together- you can see it in their eyes... Awesome 'Mummy' moments:-)

Ali, this book is a favorite of my kids and the only thing funnier than the book itself is the Tag book. The one with the pen that the kids can follow along and read. Yep, it has sound effects. All of them.
Glad you're taking some time away from seriousness. It's overrated :)

I bet Amazon gets a thousand hits for this book! Thanks for the laugh. Laughter is good medicine and it does bring us closer together when we share a good laugh with someone. Blessings on you and your daughter (and son).
