Raucous Laughter
Posted by Liza under Personal, The Real Live Boy
Noah got very excited about soap in the bathtub tonight.
Normally, soap has been something to be barely tolerated except for the fact of it producing bubbles which can be scooped up and blown into the air. But tonight, he washed his own hair. Well, patches of it. Six or seven times. And soaped up his belly even more than that.
After the 4th or 5th time, Jill spelled me for some tub duty time. When I came back into Noah’s room, he was shrieking with giggles. They’d figured out a way to make the squirting toy fish squirt bubbles, and Noah thought this was the Best. Thing. Ever. Even when he accidentally squirted himself in the face.
Is there anything better than listening to your child and your spouse practically collapsing in raucous laughter?

There is a bubble machine at K Mart (Maxim tried to dismantle it at his 1 year birthday party) which just might appear at Grandma’s when Noah brings his Mom to visit(if I can find one here). I cannot imagine anything more fun than a small child dissolving in giggles and laughter — unless perhaps it is a spouse dissolving at the same time from the same cause. (Wish I could have been there!!!!)
Love, Grandma

Grandma, rumor has it that Brian H et al have more bubble machines than they know what to do with. I bet they would let you take one off of their hands!

That’s awesome! It is great to watch your spouse and other family members interact with your kids, isn’t it? Very sweet.
I have to tell you, I thought of you somewhere around 2am last night as I was attempting to drag myself out of bed for the third time to pee. I’ve been paying attention to what you have to say pregnancy-wise since you’re just ahead of me, and I remember a week or two ago when you talked about some sort of shift, where you felt more pregnant. Just wanted to chime in, now that I’ve made it there, to say HOLY CRIPES, YEAH! I begin week 27 tomorrow and am wondering how I will make it through ten more growing only bigger weeks, gah. ;o)
