A funny thing happened yesterday afternoon – Poppy started to giggle. She has always had an enthusiastic chuckle and a squealing laugh, but this was different. It was a giggle and she giggled endlessly for 2 hours until she went to bed! She giggled at everything and at nothing – she giggled while she was eating and in the bath. She even giggled while her nappy was being changed. This morning I wondered if the giggling would continue – sure enough, the minute after she woke up and called out “MUMMMMMY!” Poppy started giggling. I wonder if she will giggle like this for the rest of her life and I’ll tell her “I remember the day you started that silly giggling!”
As I tucked her into bed with her poppy blankie and Elmo, I shot some video of her giggling at me pulling kissy faces at her. Watch Giggle Girl Video.
Motherhood is about raising - and celebrating - the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that she is exactly the person she is supposed to be. And that, if you're lucky, she just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be.
