Motherhood


I found this quote on mothering very true and telling.

"Sometimes the laughter in mothering is the recognition of the ironies and absurdities. Sometimes though, it's just pure, unthinking delight"- Barbara Schapiro

Laughter is so easy with Ivan around. He does funny things constantly, and he finds us quite hillarious as well. Of course, grown adults putting baskets on their heads or making faces is really funny- and it's so worth it, just to hear that beautiful, frolicking music called laughter, coming from deep in his inner being, pushed out from his rolly belly, tickling around in his delightful throat and leaping off his rosy lips to dazzle our ears.

I know the feeling all too well! And what we as parents won't do for a laugh! It is far better than the tantrums isn't it?! Love and laughter...they go hand in hand don't they?! Keep smiling! :)

Laughter is music to the soul.

I am checking out your blog at work because our computer at home crashed again. What inspiring thoughts before I go to the classroom! (Andrew will try to fix the computer after work today.)
