Band on the Diaper Run

Happy Mothers Day

 

 A fellow mom friend of mine and I once agreed that there are 3 things that are always funny:

1. Embarrassing moments

2. Farts (Sorry, totally immature, but the list was made 6 years ago so I've really grown up since then, I'm 99% sure of it)

3.  Monkeys (She came up with that one and I agree-have you ever observed orangutans at a zoo?)

However, the list was created before we had kids so now, I'm officially adding "laughing babies" to the list.

 Yesterday, I heard June laughing hysterically like I have never heard her laugh before.  I went into her room and found Magnolia boucing her so hard in her bouncy seat that her head was an inch from hitting the ground.  When I gasped in horror, Magnolia pointed out that "She likes it!" And, judging by the laughter, she was right.  And all three of us got a good giggle out of the ordeal.

 Happy Mothers Day and here's to many more belly laughs.

I'm not sure what is funnier - babies laughing, or farts.  I have always been a fan of the fart jokes and sounds, as immature as it may be!  I finally heard "My Only Offer" and I have to say that I LOVE IT!  It just makes me want to hear the new album more than ever!!!
