From time to time, I like to surf through videos on Youtube.com, Google.com, and Yahoo! just to see if there’s anything that I’d like to share with my families.

Turn up your speakers, grab your child into your lap, and prepare to giggle and laugh as you remember what it was like the first time your child played with bubbles. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

There is nothing like the laughter of a child – unless it’s times four!

I love to hear a child laugh - really laugh – and when I saw this video, I just had to share it with my families. These four little ones obviously love their daddy and his noises!
Doesn’t it just make you laugh, too?!

As a parent, you are called to do many things that you otherwise might not, as a consenting adult, do, such as watch kiddie videos and programs that are nothing more than glorified advertising for Madison Avenue.
