I am upstairs working,
You are downstairs with daddy
I can hear movement, I can hear lots of movement
Daddy is growling,
Laughter is erupting the house
It is getting louder and louder,
Screams of joy are getting louder and louder
Laughter becomes a belly laugh of joy
Daddy’s laugh and your laugh whistle through the house together
He is growling, you are screaming.
I creep down the stairs
Daddy is on the floor, and you are running to him
Jumping on his belly and roaring with laughter
He is growling at you
You get up
He chases you, he catches you.
Your face screws up and you laugh
The kind of laugh that will never be forgotten
From the bottom of your stomach
It just keeps coming
You physically can not stop laughing
Daddy is laughing with you
This is happiness right here, right now, never to be forgotten!

And Then All I Thought About Was You

Oh beautiful! I love moments like this. When they laugh with their whole body, the way it bubbles up from them. Just perfect.

Awwww this is brilliant! I used to go to Creative Writing classes and I miss that so much! I havent written, apart from in my Blog, for such a long time. I found you from Lunarossa’s blog, Antonella, she had pictures of the beautiful and thoughtful parcel you sent her. xxxx

This is great and had me smiling all the way through. I love these moments when I can hear my son and OH playing loudly and enjoying each other so much. You’ve just got it spot on.

I love them as well, they are precious moments that need to be kept alive forever.
