The Lighter Side of Life...

I love to......L A U G H :)
Our family’s baby, Joshua is 16 months old and he makes me laugh.
Joshua reminds me of an ’old man...set in his ways’.
His ritual when he comes to our home is much the same. He usually picks up the small glass and crystal items that are forbidden to him....and brings them to me.
Then he wants to go out back by the pool and retrieve the ’big riding car’ for a few minutes of fun and games. All the time he is ’exploring’, he is speaking in a language known only to him but is constantly laughing, smiling and being delighted with all he is doing. He is especially thrilled when his “Poppa Charlie” takes him to the garage and lets him stand in the seat of each car. He pretends to drive.
He is laughing constantly and moves so quickly that it take several adults to apprehend him speedily.
Happiness and joy emits from his pores and is very contagious. He and I play a ’silly laughing’ game together which makes everyone else around.....Laugh!
What fun it is to have such a carefree child teach us how to enjoy.....The Good Life.
Yes, the greatest aid to adult education....is children!
