Week Ten: Laughter
10. Today, I will laugh! And I will let the little children laugh! I will create a culture of JOY!
Peter asked me to tickle him all over, a big bit, and "don't stop until lunch-time". And he LAUGHED. And I laughed.
Last night we had a laugh-fest, where he'd wind down only to hear me chuckle and start laughing hysterically all over again.
Contagious laughter.
Contagious laughter.
This morning Ezra and Peter had a bath together.
I returned from the swimming pool to hear shrieks of happy laughter as they splashed and poured water on each other.
They laughed.

They laughed.
And, oh, does it feel good. It repairs sadness, soothes aches and pains, fills a cup with love.
And we're going to do lots of it this week.
