True Laughter

When getting Declan ready for bed after his bath he was sharing details about his day at Kelly's. He told us that the fan was scary when he took his nap. When I asked why it was scary he said "it has _____ eyes".

I couldn't understand what he was saying. 

"The fan has eyes?"

"Yes. ____ eyes."

"It has eyes?"

"Yes. ____ eyes."

"Declan, I don't know what you mean."

He then responds by bringing his hands, with outstretched fingers up to frame his eyes. Then he opened his eyes as wide as he could and said "LIKE THIS!"

Daddy and I started laughing, as did Declan. I'd look back his way and he'd open his eyes huge again and we'd laugh some more. Declan had tears in his eyes from his full belly laughs and we got such a kick out of him. 

Sure is getting to be a big boy.
