A Contagious Laugh

Saturday, June 9, 2012

Last night, Shaggy DA was on T.V., and one by one the kids appeared and sat down to watch it. I was back on the computer working on a project for Brian for Fathers Day, when Jacob burst out laughing again and again. It was a part where the dog is driving. He made us all laugh.

On Thursday, we went to Hop (one of the Childrens Summer Movies). It's not one of my favorite movies, but there was a part where the bunny plays the drums, the chick starts dancing, and all the other chicks hooked to the "sled" go crazy. Jacob caught the intended or unintended humor in that moment, and he was roaring with laughter through the whole scene. The rest of the audience was silent, but Jacob could have cared less. He laughed for everyone else who wasn't. I don't think I would have laughed either, if it weren't for Jacob. I was chuckling to myself, and really enjoyed that part of the movie, thanks to him.

Speaking of Jacob, this morning when I got home from running, he was laying out on the couch alone. He said he was waiting for someone else to wake up. I asked him "When did you wake up? Have you been up a long time?" He answered, "I woke up...(thinking)...about a while ago."

Well that answered my question.

Brian came out a little later and asked Jacob if he was feeling better today. He's been feeling a little sick off and on the past couple of days.

Jacob said, "I feel better, and I feel fantastic!"

That's the spirit!
