wholeheartedness

there's nothing more exhilarating than watching my son laughing. not giggling. really laughing. his eyes are like two horizontal brackets and his mouth is so wide open you can actually see that little thing hanging between his tonsils. his face has 300 different expressions of delight. a symphony is playing in his little body celebrating life and endorphins. he's laughing like his innocent heart is about to explode in a thousand colorful fireworks. like nothing else exists. I'm witnessing wholeheartedness. and I could stay there watching for ever.

That is one of the best pictures I've seen in a long time. After reading your post and then seeing him laugh, it was if i could hear him. feel his happiness. Thank you for this little reminder of why we parent.

I love the first shot how he threw his head back to laugh, it looks loud and contagious.
