For The Love Of Laughing

i love those moments! just wait until ya'll start reading the june b jones series - i was in tears!

LOVE this book...and not just because our oldest son is named Walter.

its a great book isnt it!!!
i teach kindergarten here in NZ
and we love it so much!!!

we have another one called 'the wonkey donkey' and in it he is stinky...... and my nieces love to say ewwwwww he farted!!!!
gotta love toilet humour!!!

I miss those days. Mine are all grown. Even my grandson is too old for grandma to read to him.

thats awesome ali ;) i think its good to take time to remember to laugh... i'm not goofy enough either... its good for the soul! I think i will get my nephews this book!

Whenever I meet lovely young ladies I offer them two pieces of advice.
Anna may be young, but I bet her Mom would love to start her on these journeys. I hope.
First keep a list of all the books you read. When I meet that genie, I'm going to ask for a room filled with all the books I've read in chronological order.
Second, start a diary/journal for everyday happenings. Could be a simple one inch square saying school, pool, shopping, etc. When she hits her teens, she'll already have a 'friend' she can confide in.
PS. Munch has a great, hilarious book called Good Families Don't.

Haha! call me immature, but a fart joke pretty much always makes me laugh. I just requested this book from the library! :) THanks for the recommendation.

Awesome!

Have you ever seen Bookaboo? I love it because they read a whole bunch of children's stories that are out of my comfort range. I normally would never buy the kinds of stories they read but they are funny and have awesome messages behind them.

Priceless

Oh - you absolutely have to find this one for Anna.
The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew it Was None of His Business
by Werner Holzwarth & Wolf Erlbruch or Why do Dogs Sniff Bottoms (can't remember the author). They are just such funny stories about these delightful topics that kids love!!!

You've got to check out "Dog Breath: The Horrible Trouble with Hally Tosis" by Dav Pilkey!

Priceless moments like this that make fun, happy childhood memories for kids

I had a similar experience while reading Junie B. Jones with my son. It's really funny and delightful. Also, the whole Mercy Watson Pig series if you are looking for some funny additions.

Sounds delightful! I've seen those books, but unfortunately my kiddos are probably too old for them. :( Although they still like talking about farts and poop! LOL Do they ever outgrow that?

Glad Anna was able to share the laughter with her mama. <3

The whole series is funny. My kids love it! And as ashamed as I am to admit this, one night while reading it, I even convinced them it was scratch-n-sniff. That added a whole new level to the humor!

Love this!! Cherish these memories.

That brought such a smile to my face :)

Hi Ali, thank you for sharing this little moment. You are generous in sharing about your life, and I love to hear that you are laughing! So necessary! Hope you have a great weekend.

sometimes we need to laugh with kids...they are so delightful...and to follow their lead...they can teach US so many things...when we just listen...
