Gigglefest

Last night Logan and I sat next to the bathtub as Brody took his bath. Brody was cranky and having a "no" kind of day. He has a new molar that just cut through his gums so he's not exactly a joy to be around. (He keeps telling me that he has a "boo boo in his mouth"- too cute!) Out of the blue, Brody reached over and touched Logan's knee saying "tickle, tickle, tickle". Logan smiled at him, so he did it again. This time Logan did a half laugh. Brody beamed and looked up at me and said "he's smiling at me!" When Brody did it a third time, Logan let out a gurgling, hiccuppy laugh, the kind that only Jacob had succeeded to extract from Logan. It made Brody's night. He tickled Logan's knee 8 or 10 more times, each time causing Logan to laugh harder, which in turn made Brody laugh harder. Eventually this gigglefest induced a case of hiccups in Logan and the boys calmed down. By the end of the bath Brody was back into a cranky mood, but it was nice to have those minutes of sunshine when everyone was happy and the boys were in their own little world.
