Humor

Where is it that we learn or receive our sense of humor? Evan is blowing me away with how he expresses his style of humor. He isn't even 10 months old yet and all ready knows his own humor.

It comes across when Daddy is playing with Evan's favorite stuffed animal and is making him crash into the floor. Daddy is good with sound effects. By the time that monkey crashes and yells out a yelp, Evan is full of giggles. How does he know that is funny?

Tonight when I was giving Evan a bath, we were sitting on the tub edge and Evan was on my lap. He was starting to get a little fussy as it was clearly bedtime. I was trying to entertain him while the tub was filling up with water. I threw in a green rubber duck into the tub. He and I watched the duck as it swam around the tub. Evan now playing with the shower curtain had lost interest in the duck. A few minutes later, we both looked down to find the duck head down and frantically being pummeled with water. Evan was giggling each time that duck came back up to the surface to be hit again with the water.

There are times that I am driving the car and hear a giggle from the backseat. I look at my rearview mirror to see my son in his carseat with a smile on his face. I love that he all ready entertains himself with his own funny thoughts. I would love to know what he is thinking!
