Week 28: Grateful for Laughter

This afternoon hubby and I were driving our girls back from an outing to the shops. "Cherub" was overtired as she had been up for a few hours and needed to go to bed, so was a bit whingy in the back. Thankfully "Popette" (3.5) was in fine form, and was entertaining us all by singing songs in her high pitched silly voice, making her little sister and us giggle.




"Popette" had been singing "Galumph, went the little green frog one day", with an alternate second verse, which went like this:

Galumph, went the little green frog one day,
Galumph, went the little green frog
Galumph, went the little green frog one day,
and his eyes went galumph, galumph, galumph

Now we all know frogs go pffft (raspberry sound) in the microwave,
pffft in the microwave,
pffft in the microwave,
We all know frogs go pffft in the microwave,
They don't go galumph, galumph, galumph!

Of course this made the girls and ourselves laugh out loud.

"Popette"  then made animal noises, with Mummy's encouragement, making her little sister laugh even more.

"Cherub" has got such a lovely little laugh, it's hearty for someone her age. The first time we heard it she was about 4 months old. She was watching her sister jump up and down, which made her laugh uncontrollably.  It was the first time we had heard anything from her.

So this week I am grateful for the sweet laughter of my two girls, it makes me feel good and reminds me that I should laugh more often and not take life so seriously.

I am linking up with Maxabella Loves over at Village Voices on the 52 weeks of Grateful journey.

What are you grateful for?

    1. Thanks Deb, I couldn't agree with you more.

      You gotta love Play School, it's one of "Popette's" favourite shows. I love it for the craft ideas too :)

    1. Hi Kirsty,

      It's great isn't it. I'm so glad we invested in a video camera so I can capture my girls playing & laughing, especially "Cherub". You forget that age once they've grown up.
