The world debut of the Abbyism!!!!

Current mood: accomplished

I've said before that Abby reserves her giggles for very special occasions. It is hard to fish a good hearty laugh from the munchkin! She'll give away smiles like crazy, but laughs are somewhat hard to come by.

When Lexi was little, I inadvertently figured out a way to make chuckles come pouring out even in the midst of a tantrum or when she was hurt. It was the simple act of spraying a squirt bottle over her head and the feeling of the intentional mist come raining down on her head. Even one time when she busted her lip on a table at Nana and Papaw's house this trick worked.

Well, I've figured out Abby's button! One day I was fed up with the dogs barking (we have little yappy dogs) so I barked like a much meaner, much bigger dog and Abby started giggling hysterically.
