You know those times where you just laugh and laugh with the kids, and it's such a good feeling. But then there are also those times where you know you probably shouldn't laugh, but can't help it. Not because the child did something funny, but wrong, and is in trouble, though I've had those times too, but the times when the child is stuck or something similar and they are uncomfortable/embarrassed and you just can't help yourself. I was about crying tonight I was laughing so hard at/with Braeden. Ok, at, he wasn't laughing! :)

We have these "stuffed" animal masks that Grandma and Grandpa gave us. Braeden's is a lion and he loves the thing, wears it often. Not sure what possessed him, other than he's four and will try anything, but he came to me and it looked like he had cut off his tshirt sleeves. I could not figure it out. Then I saw it, and at the same time he was begging me to help him get it off... he had taken the mask and put it onto his back like a backpack - and could NOT get it off. It was hilarious, I can't adequately describe how funny it was!!! He was half laughing, half upset, and just wanted it off. I told him I would help, IF he let me take a picture. He wanted NONE of it - but I followed him into my room and got a few pics while he tried hiding, then I did help him get it off. HILARIOUS!!!
