How Laughter melts the heart

This I know...when I laugh with these two, they eat it up and I get farther with their heart...and sometimes, I find they purposely try to get my attention by doing the zaniest things to see if I'm on their team, their head cheerleader!
Hurrah, go boys!
We're spending the day watching my son, Josh's friendgirl, Carissa's little ones and we've had a great day enjoying the simple pleasures...Legos, Toy Story 3, and a matching game...lots of snacks and thankfully, two bathrooms!  We just got back from the park in their apartment complex and now, while we wait for mom to come home, we're watching 'Ratatouille' and eating pretzels.  The simple pleasures...

We're at a stage now when, all of a sudden, they've become sooooo aware of their looks.  Well, only one really cares, or at least he's the only one that actually voices his thoughts...I do notice the other one likes to wash his hair a lot so he doesn't get pimples! 

A by-product of this stage is wanting to grow their hair long! In the past, I would have flipped out or just kept cutting it, but this time around, I'm conversing about the why behind the desire...it has sparked some interesting talks.

Growing up...laugh, Daune...it'll melt your heart!
