I met a friend and her son at the park today. Somehow, we missed the fact that it was 90+ degrees outside. After only 15 minutes, we decided to call it quits, but not before I put Elle on the swing for a quick ride! Elle has been in a swing at the park before, but she was much younger then. She is actually big enough now to reach the chain and hold on. Not that she really does, but she can. What happened next thrilled me be beyond belief. I put Elle into the swing and started to push her. She tossed her head back and started cracking up laughing!! So hard that the sound wasn't coming out. I just watched her for a moment...enjoying every single second of seeing her do something that every other child can do. For those few moments I was able to experience what other parents experience. With tears in my eyes, I ran for the camera. You'll probably get motion sickness watching it :-)

Oooooohhhh. Brought tears to my eyes too Lori. She sounds just like Emmett when he laughs. Such a sincere, deep down laugh. Glad you posted it!
How amazing! I know you were bookin' it to your car for the camera too! Loved the video! Children's laughter is music to my ears, and Elle's laughter is a hug to my heart!
Take care -
