It was nearing bedtime a couple of nights ago when Babe and I were sitting together on the couch watching...probably "House Hunters" by that time, when our son's laugh kicked into high gear. If you've ever been lucky enough to get Nas to really laugh, or just been close enough to hear it, you know that that little boy's laughter is truly contagious.
Even as a baby he would sit in his high chair while Jay fed him and she could get that chubby little toddler laughing so much he'd have to catch his breath. When you have two kids, a husband, laundry, dishes, meals to plan and then prepare, bills that just don't stop coming, and a gas tank that demands filling more often than you like, you know that hearing your kids laugh - especially when it's just them - makes it all so very worth it.
That's how I felt that night. Some days are longer than others and that had been one of them, but Nas' laugh out loud moments really do make me smile, then laugh, and suddenly I notice a warm fuzzy feeling has hugged my heart in a way that makes me forget how crazy life can be.
