Sam has a new trick: he laughs! He had his first laugh about a week ago and has laughed a few times since then. Until today, those laughs were almost indistinguishable from crying and always dissolved into tears. They are most common when he is tired and therefore a little bit on the edge between extreme happiness and extreme frustration. But tonight he erupted in giggles playing a game with his daddy. Ben was giving him the fist bump and then “exploding” as he made contact. This struck Sam as the funniest thing he has ever experienced. Below is a short snippet for your entertainment. The game went on for about 10 minutes and had all of us in stitches.
