I have mixed emotions about this particular post. Yesterday, for the first time, Ashlyn laughed. She’s had a few noises in the past that sounded like a laugh, but yesterday she did it deliberately and repeatedly. Hearing your daughter laugh for the first time is a great thing, and I can’t deny my joy in witnessing it. It was the cause of the laughter that has me a little concerned. It wasn’t a goofy face. It wasn’t a song or dance. It wasn’t even a bright and shiny toy. The laughter came from Ashlyn kicking me in the face.
Hoping that it was a fluke, we tried it again today with the same result. Luckily, this time we were able to get it on camera as proof.
Ashlyn starts to laugh
Like I said, I have mixed emotions on this. I was kicked repeatedly in the face by a tiny human being wearing a one piece pajama outfit with little fuzzy ears on the feet.
Did it hurt? Yes (well, not really, but my incredible acting skills made it look like it, right?).
Did I have a headache afterwards from the whiplash? Yep.
Was it worth it? Without a doubt.
