A Simple Reason Why Being a Parent Is So Incredible


Posted on May 27th, by Chris Read in THE BLOG, The Daddy Files. 24 comments

Laughter. Plain and Simple.

The ability to laugh and be goofy with my kids, for me, is by far the best thing about being a parent.

That’s about all I have to say about that. Shocking, I know! I’ll let my son say the rest.

Hope you have a great week!

Cheers!

    Toooooooooo cute! His laugh is contagious! My 3 year old was cracking up watching this :) There’s nothing as sweet as listening to the sound of children’s laughter.

    LOL! I love it! My girls think toots are hilarious too. And Jillian will go on and on like your son did. SO cute!

    Of all my kids, my 4 year old has the most infectious laugh. I need to capture it.

      The iPhone saved me! I’ve neer had so much access to a camera/video camera in my life and I love it!

  4. I’m fully on board with you on this one – being silly is what it is all about. I love to be silly with my kids – I’m a kid at heart – something tells me that you are too ;) I don’t know what would have given me that impression though ;)

      What?! I’m no kid! Hahaha, yeah right! I’m guessing sometimes, my wife feels like there are 3 children in the house, lol!

    Laughter = stress release :)

  7. That was such a cute video, put a smile on my face and I laughed too. I have to agree with this reason, laughter. There’s not a day that goes by that the hubby and I aren’t laughing at something the kids say or do, kids seriously are the cutest and their minds work in mysterious ways. Gotta love ‘em!

    I LOVE his laugh! Kid laughs make my heart sore! Which is why I do the “potty dance” for them even though my neighbours think I’m an idiot – the laughs are worth my lack of dignity!

  9. Kathleen says:

    That’s cute! I love when my kids laugh!

  10. My 3 year old thought this was pretty hilarious ;)

    Awesome…everybody else is saying it, but I agree…that is one infectious laugh your boy has! Hope you had a great weekend, Chris…thanks for all your help!

    • Chris says:

      Thanks Tommy, it’s very easy to listen too. I guess I’ll have to post a video of him whining too so that it balances out….Haha!

  12. Why can’t more blogs be like this one?
    Seriously! Sometimes we take writing way too seriously.
    Thanks for sharing the wealth!

    • Chris says:

      Thanks Steve, I agree on the seriousness point. Sometimes things just need to be what they are without all the drama attached.
