Fabulous Friday - Laughter

Feeling fabulous people?  No?  Well look on the bright side...at least it's Friday!  And whether you like it or not, on this blog at least, it is indeed once again Fabulous Friday.  And so what, I hear you clamouring to ask, are you finding to be fabulous this week Ju?

The answer is plain and simple.  It's the sound of the funny little stunted chuckling noise that has started coming from The Baby.  I can't pretend it's a full blown belly laugh as yet  but it's definitely a laugh that seems to rise up from the very core of him and makes his eyes spill over with joy and wonder.  Popular prompts currently include:-
  • The Husband, The Eight Year Old and me singing any of the following, "Let's all have a disco", "Row Row Row Your Boat" and "Wheels on the Bus" - the extended version. 
  • The Eight Year  Old 'baby talking' to him in what I find to be a slightly scary manic manner.
  • The blowing of raspberries anywhere upon his person.
  • Facial impressions of fish swimming - best not to ask.
When The Baby laughs, it makes us laugh too.  The Eight Year Old, The Baby and me spent a good hour or so laughing at each other on and  off the other night.   And you know what, despite the threat of being  vomit-inducingly sweet, there's some truth in what they say about their being no sound finer than that of your child's laughter..  Except, I would say, the sound of your children laughing together.

Happy Friday people!

    Baby laughs are beautiful. I love it when my son belly laughs, it makes my daughter giggle and that makes my heart swell.

Snippets of everyday conversation #2

Playing Wii sports recently... The Husband - "We'll make a great doubles tennis team" Me - with right eyebrow raised questioningly - "You reckon?" The Husband -"Too right.  With your aggression and my control, what could go wrong?" Hmmm.... The Eight Year Old looked on, a mild smirk upon his face.

Blue Monday?

Apparantly today, 'Blue Monday' is supposed to be the most depressing day of the year.  Not so for me today I'm happy to report.   This morning, where I live it was one of those gorgeous crisp wintery starts to the day where the ground is carrpeted in a minty white frost and the trees stand like ghostly figures peeking through the curtain of mist.  Me and the Baby wrapped up warm and headed out for a stroll.  More precisely, I strolled and pushed The snug-as-a-bug-in-a- rug Baby in his pushchair.  As the sun rose higher into the sky we stepped up the pace and had quite a spring in our step.  I love days like this.  The air is still, the sky is blue and it's much easier to put a positive spin on all of lives goings on. I'm even feeling relatively postive about The Eight Year Olds birthday party at the weekend.  The Eight Year Old became eight during the Christmas holidays and so we thought we'd wait until he r...

Busy

You may have noticed that posting on this blog is a liitle thinner on the ground of late than it has been in previous times.  Life is picking up speed and feeling busier right now, mainly in a good way.  That, and the fact that the sun is shining which always reduces tthe desire to sit indoors tapping away on the lap top - and sitting outdoors tapping away on the laptop whilst being blinded by the glare is really no fun by anyones standards. I am in my final two weeks of maternity leave before I head back to work.  I still have mixed feelings about this butI  am mostly reconcilled to the idea now.  I went in to work last week for a couple of hours, and am aimung to do the same this week.  By doing so,  I've realised there are personal benefits beyond those of earning cash and being able to pay our bills over the coming months.  By going to work I get to wear clothes that are less than baby friendly.  I can wear ...
