a funny funny world

The last few days have been especially good ones for Joshua. He's gotten to a point where so many things are funny...we just get such a kick out of watching him laughing. He went to his first Halloween party on Friday (where the Tigger costume picture in the video is from), and there were a couple things he thought were hysterical. He was sitting on Nathan's shoulders and Nathan was showing (and then hiding and then showing etc.) one of those plastic finger puppets of a little white skeleton/alien, and he was laughing sooo much. He also laughed at a little bat on a spring hanging from a doorframe. Today he laughed really really hard at the water dripping from the bathtub faucet after I turned it off. He also thought his Winnie the Pooh mobile was especially funny. He actually pulled Tigger off of it, but luckily Tigger went right back on - otherwise the balance would have been way off! Sometimes he just laughs at something and we can't tell what...the tv tray, the magnet on the door, the window...those are all just guesses based on what he seems to be looking at. Anyway - there is no better sound in my life than the sound of his laugh, so it has been really nice. I was hoping he'd get a nap before I go visit a lady from church in half an hour, but while he's been playing in his crib and whimpering in his crib, he has been doing not a single bit of sleeping in his crib. Ah well - another messed up sleeping patterns day, but such is life.

Oh some of his toys are going through the dishwasher today...on light wash and cool dry on the top rack...but I'm still nervous they might get ruined. He has a butterfly thing that laughs and I'm thinking it is a little possible that it won't laugh anymore, but I'm not going to be too distressed if that is the case, because it is a pretty frightening noise when it just starts laughing out of nowhere in the middle of the night...

Ok off to accomplish things and enjoy my sleepy and probably soon to be grumpy baby.
