Tears in the Eyes

This evening just after Daddy dressed Declan in his pajamas as he was holding him in his arms I walked up to them to say "Hi".  Declan reached over, flicked me from under the chin with his backhand and laughed. I said "what do you think you're doing?" And then proceeded to very softly and with fabulous sound effect flicked his chin just the same. We'll be thought this was hilarious. He started laughing a big hearty laugh, which in turn made us laugh. I did it a couple times in a row and each time we all lugged hard and longer. Finally Declan's entire face changed, he had dimples in places I'd never seen before, he was laughing so hard he couldn't stop and neither could I. Then we were just laughing at each other laughing and Daddy was laughing too. I looked closely and there we have it, Declan, just like me, had tears in his eyes from laughing so hard. It was such an amazing moment. Very nice that we three we're able to share it together.
