This evening after the kids went to bed I was sitting in the office, which is at the bottom of the stairs, doing something on the computer when I heard Amanda laughing. She had been asleep for over an hour so I sort of ignored it at first but listened to make sure she wasn't actually crying. After a bit I went upstairs to check on her and confirm that everything was okay.
Her eyes were open when I walked in the room. I asked her if she had a funny dream and she gave me a little smile and said yes. The I told her to go back to sleep and gave her a kiss and she very simply said "ok" and closed her eyes. So much easier the the hundreds of other times I have been in her room late at night.
There's no better sound that a young child laughing, especially when it's not expected. It reminds me of how little she still is, and how I get to keep her that way for a bit longer, even though she's starting to grow up.
