I have never heard you
laugh like you did one night this week. You’ve just recently started truly
laughing at the most random things I do, and I know I can get you to giggle
when I say certain words like “boing,” “p.u.,” and “whooph!”
I taught you how to throw
a ball in an evening recently, and we sat well past your bedtime tossing it
back and forth. Well, I tossed it to you and you would pick it up and throw it
every time. But sometimes you let it go too early, and it’d go behind you, or
you’d let it go too late, it and it would drop in front of you. Either way, you
kept right on going.
I yelled for your daddy to
join us, and he kept encouraging you to pick up the ball and throw it with your
left hand. His (current) dream for you is to become a left-handed professional
baseball pitcher. I can’t really tell whether you’re a righty or a lefty yet because
you pick up objects with whatever hand is closest, and eat with both at the
same time!
So when I heard you full
and outright hysterically belly laughing like I’ve never heard from you before,
I just had to see just what was so hilarious. So I peeked into the nursery
where you were with your daddy and saw exactly what was so funny. Your daddy
had apparently started to undress you for your bath and had gotten as far as
taking off your long pants. And what you were doing was throwing the pair of
pants at your daddy, and he would throw them right back and grunt like it was a
huge effort to throw the pants a few inches away, causing you to laugh like
you’ve never laughed with me.
I have to say that I’ve
never thought of throwing a pair of pants back and forth in my quest to get you
to giggle, so kudos to your daddy for his creativity. He’s not usually a creative
guy, so I have to give him props for coming up with something so random that’s
apparently the most entertaining thing ever for you.
And now what’s so
entertaining to me is that now whenever you throw something, you grunt,
imitating your daddy. It’s completely adorable. Just like you.
Love,
Mom
