our new favorite entertainment in the riftraft household is seeing what we can do to make baby dude laugh. it cracks us up every time. i challenge you to watch this video and not smile:

p.s. today was much better than last week. i even managed to put baby S down for 2 naps without the use of a stroller! And I found that music and singing can be excellent tools in my childcare management toolbox. duh. i’ve known this at work for years. this is just a slightly different way of using it so it took me a week or two to discover it. and these babies don’t care if it’s the “itsy bitsy spider” or “summertime” or just scat singing at the top of my lungs.

I failed the challenge, and am happier for it! Love all the laughter. This totally makes up for crummy, “Calgon-take-me-away” days. 🙂
Priceless. Put this one in the cache for the next time you’re feeling down. Oh…and about the singing. Yeah. It works almost always. It seems the more enthusiastic the better. Fortunately, it also doesn’t matter if you’re on key. I think we sang Henry to sleep for the first year and a half of his life.
I happily failed the challenge–delightful video!
