Sophia laughed for the first time today. I’ve heard her laugh in her sleep a couple of times, but this is the first time she did it awake. I was singing the little nursery rhyme “patty-cake” to her. Anyone that has heard my singing-like attempts knows why she started laughing. The little shit. I know I know, it’s a nursery rhyme and not a song. You see, that’s just how bad it really is, and I can’t ever remember the words to anything! Kurt SHUT UP!

My baby leaks from both ends…what's the hospital's policy on returns?
How cute is that! Baby laughs are the best
That’s okay…kids don’t care about the words until they get older anyway (think Penn & Teller’s BS “I LOVE YOU DOG), so you can sing whatever lyrics you want (think my mom).
And bonus: you have dogs, so if they start howling, then it’s time to stop your “musical recitation”.
I can’t wait to hear her laugh!
I remember telling my mother that she sings pretty once when I was little. I believed it at the time. She was so happy that I said that, I thought it was kind of weird. I asked why she didn’t sing more, and she told me my dad didn’t like her singing… I thought that was kind of weird, too. Then I grew up and learned that my mother is tone deaf. I wonder what I was thinking when I told her she sang pretty. (I guess I’m a little shit, too.)
