Double the Trouble, Double the Fun

Ever since Charlie was very small, Skip has made him belly laugh.  I don't know what it is about Skip, but when Zadie tries she can't quite get him to laugh like Skip can.  Now that Charlie is walking, the two boys have been having lots of fun chasing each other around the house and generally being boys together.

The only problem with this is that, at some point, Charlie's laughter typically turns to tears during the course of their play because Skip gets so hyped up that he ends up hurting him.  So it's kind of hard as a parent to monitor because you want them to play together like wild boys, but you're just waiting to intervene for when Skip takes something too far and accidentally hurts him.  Charlie doesn't stay upset long and hopefully as Skip gets older he'll be better about being more gentle.  Or, more likely, Charlie will get bigger and will start hurting Skip instead!

Anyway, hearing these two boys laugh and play together is definitely a fun part of our daily lives.  They were both giggling like crazy before Tori took out the video camera and then, like always, they get interested in the video camera and stop laughing quite so hard.  So watch the video and imagine the laughter times ten.
