A Little Laugh

We were sitting at the table eating our dinner last night. Rylan was shaking his head back and forth for some reason (he does this often and I just assume it's normal behavior!). Kevin started asking him questions like "Do you want daddy to help you put your pajamas on?" or "Do you want daddy to brush your teeth?". Of course Rylan was shaking his head "no" so Kevin would reply "OK, mommy will do it". (Isn't my husband hilarious??!!) So after several questions Kevin asks "Do you want to watch monkey?". Rylan stopped shaking his head and said "Yes, OK!" to which Kevin and I started laughing. I'm sure Ry didn't really know what was so funny, but he joined in the laughter and forced out some fake laughs of his own, which made us laugh even more. When the laugheter died down, Rylan said "Monkey, yes, ok!", he paused, his eyes shifted from me to Kevin and back to me, waiting for us to laugh...because hey, we laughed the first time! We just burst into laughter watching our little boy try to make another joke. He continued saying it and fake laughing even long after it was no longer funny. But still, to think about his shifting eyes and his pause, waiting for us to laugh...I just laughed writing this out! Isn't eating dinner together as a family a joy??
