Tonight the Mayland Family was sitting on the couch, watching a little t.v. and enjoying some time with daddy before he went off to work. Dan was playing with Mesa and she barked (which she NEVER does and honestly I don't think we've "let" her do it inside since Kailer was born.) I was holding Kailer at that time and his arms pushed out from his side and I said to Dan, "that scared Kailer." In the past, little sounds like an unexpected sneeze from one of us or the dropping of a plate would literally startle Kailer and scare him to the point crying. But tonight was a whole different story!! Right after I said that I thought Mesa's bark had scared Kailer he started laughing. You must watch the video to appreciate the full-on laugh that he was doing. We have heard him laugh before, while playing peek-a-boo or making faces at him, but tonight was the first time he REALLY laughed!
Enjoy the video - everytime I watch it I laugh too and tear up a bit. The sound of his laughter warms my heart and soul ... our little boy is growing up and has now found his "best friend."
(If you are having trouble viewing the video, "refresh" your page and you should be able to view it.)
That was perfect! And I bet Mesa loves being able to bark too. No wonder you said you wished you could get your videos in a book, that is priceless.
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable!! Aren't our dogs great friends for our kids...snip is very protective over Carter. We have allowed her to bark since day 1 and it doesn't even faze him. Hope you have a warm day!
