For The Love Of Laughing
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 and love this book...Walter has several sequels too!
I keep them in the bathroom, along with the book everybody poops!

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:-)

I've been trying to find that book for my sons ~ especially since we have a chocolate lab who has been known to clear the room with his farts!

The Walter books are so much fun! You should also check out the Skippy John Jones books, if you haven't already. HILARIOUS!!

Love your post today, and I can totally relate to a 3 year old and the word poop (I wish I knew what was so wonderful about this word), can't wait to read this book with my two boys I know they'll love it.

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).

I've seen a little plush Walter for sale somewhere before... might be fun to add him to your home as a reminder to giggle about something totally ridiculous from time to time ; )

Other good books are the "David" series. They are hilarious too.

Awesome...i love it!
I tell myself i'm not *too* serious until i start killing all the fun. It's a fine line.
Hooray for laughter! I'll have to check out this book :)

I"m so glad you found a book that made both of you laugh so much together. Good for Anna to see and good therapy.

For years I tried to inject "passing gas" into my son's vocabulary. It was a fruitless and thankless effort. Sixteen years later, I am so glad I gave up. "Farting" has provided endless laughs and a new family tradition of finding the next great greeting card related to farting. Classy and cultural? No. But oh so much fun! My parents are even in on it!

Fun!
Nothing like a little toilet humour to get you laughing your pants off - no pun intended ;)

Thanks for the tip; I could use a good laugh. Added it to my HOLD LIST at the public library. Can't wait to check it out. :)

Wonderful! I had completely forgotten all about this book. My mom bought it for my nephews several years ago. I bet my Lilly would just love it & I was not aware there were more Walter books. My Mom gave Lilly My Goat Gertrude by Starr Dobson for Christmas. We have only read it once so far, but she enjoyed it. May be one for your reading list with Anna. I am most definitely adding Walter to Lilly's list.
