Happy Night

 

Well, last night Jonah and Mommy had a very happy night. It all started in the Walmart parking lot, believe it or not. Jonah got the silly idea to chew on the collar of his shirt in a way that made it squeak...and cracked himself up big time!! He laughed almost all the way home from the store. When we got home, it was going to be just the two of us for the evening as Jonathan was out a little later than usual. I didn't feel much like preparing a full meal, (did I mention we'd just come from Walmart) so we had scrambled eggs. I thought it might be fun to have a picnic in the living room floor. After I made the eggs I spread a blanket and called Jonah over to eat. When he came into the room and saw that blanket he cracked up laughing all over again! It was so cute!! Every time he looked down at that blanket he laughed again! Eating picnic style is tricky with a 1 year old. He thought he should get to stand up to eat, but I made him sit. So, he'd get up after every bite and laugh before he'd sit to take another bite. Some of the times, I guess he didn't want to sit, because he would hug me and try to take a bite (as cute & sweet as it was, it didn't work).

You can see evidence of the cracking up! He laughed and laughed all night! I love it! The picture with the plate is posed, he didn't really hold the fork through dinner!

After we ate our eggs, an apple, and some yogurt, Jonah played for a while. Then he got in the tub...and had some more happy times! It makes me so happy to see him so happy and healthy. The only sad time of the day was bed time. He cried a bit more than usual...I guess we'd just been having too much fun, he didn't want it to end. I love that sweet baby!
