What are you laughing at?

Categories: Just For Moms, Toddlers

One of the secret gifts of Mothering a toddler is the laughter. Babies are cute, they do fun things, but a toddler's quirky brain wiring makes for some serious entertainment.

Nolan thinks he's hilarious. This has been evident from the time he was a wee baby, but lately he is seriously convinced of his own private hilarity. I'll catch glimpses of him in the rear view mirror, snickering with gusto about some secret joke he's concocted involving his hands and Jordi's dog snout. He'll be sitting in his high chair, and commence laughing hysterically...something to do with a kiwi fruit?

I spent so many months watching Nolan's reactions to my actions: his sleeping when I rocked him, his protests when I diapered him, his pleasure when I put him in a warm bath. It is such a refreshing and unexpectedly beautiful thing to watch him provoke himself...even if I don't totally get his "inside jokes".
