A short time ago I posted laughing with your daughter and now finally I am getting the chance to experience some of those fun times. With a few half giggles I was excited but now she is beginning to laugh.

Jokes don’t work, goofy games don’t work, T.V. cartoons don’t work but silly noises and snuggles produce the happy giggles and wiggles.

Everyday I give her a kiss before I leave to work, everyday a hello when I get home. I think hugs, kisses and snuggles are very important. Both verbal and physical signs of love help pave the way to effective discipline.

When she knows I love her, want to protect her, provide for her and give my life for her then when correction comes she will have the trust that it is for her good and not harm. She will know that I want only the best for her.

For now I will have fun and be silly to making her laugh:
