Babies and Comedy

What do you do to make yourself laugh? What do you do to make your baby laugh? Life really is all about being happy. For me that is, and I hope for you also. I know this is not true for everyone. And a big part of being happy is laughing. So I say, but I could be wrong.

I hope to die with a smile on my face while doing a big belly laugh. I mean it has got to happen (dying that is), so why not be laughing when it does.

You are probably wondering, "What does this have to do with me, and my baby."

This whole "being happy thing" starts early. Being happy starts when you are a baby, I think. So get your baby started laughing early. Beat the rush. 8)

My mother-in-law always said that our daughter was a happy baby. I had never thought about it until she came into our lives. Our daughter that is, the mother-in-law is a lovely lady and she often makes me laugh too. And as our daughter has grown into a young lady I have noticed that she is a happy person, like my brother (and like me). She smiles for no reason and loves to laugh. And I love to hear her laugh. It is infectious, her laughter makes me want to laugh too.

Cultivating a sense of happiness and laughter in your baby, will serve you well later when you are old and jaded like me. You will have this young vibrant happy person to make you laugh.

So in today's post I just want to remind you to laugh, and make your baby laugh.

Here is the site of a baby who is going to be a comedian when she grows up. Baby Pinja, man she is a cutie. I hope she makes it with some of those tough crowds that are out there.

Of course when I think of babies and laughing I think of toys. One of the things that made our daughter laugh the hardest was when I would take out the pots and pans and let her bang on them with a wooden spoon. You may not want to do that, but I think the best ways to get your baby to laugh is to use what ever comes natural for your child to laugh at.

My wife and I have many stories of our daughter spending more time playing with the box than the toy (the memory of that makes me laugh). I tried to be the parent who would get down there on the floor and play with the boxes too. My wife usually laughed at us both.

So to wrap this up, enjoy your baby, and laugh with them. Laugh at them and let them laugh at you. It is time well spent.
