I loved this article I read today on Baby Center today and I wanted to share it with you! It really reminded me the benefits of cutting up and being silly with your kids - and how it helps them to cope with difficult things that will come up in their lives. Some of my fondest memories at my Grandma and Grandpa's house were watching the Laurel and Hardy movies that my Grandpa had taped. I can still hear my Grandpa laughing so hard at those movies he'd end up in a coughing fit. I have since sat with my children and watched some Laurel and Hardy movies and some of them have left me crying and falling out of my chair I'm laughing so hard. It's contagious and so my kids will be doing the same! My sense of humor is very slap-stick - I just love silliness. Anyways, hope you enjoy this article and do something fun and silly with your kids!
