About Amari at 3

Amari has the funniest sense of humor, and his laugh is so contagious and infectious.  The things he finds the funniest the most right now is throwing things on the floor and laughing out loud or watching someone hurt themselves (pretend to bonk their head, etc.)—he gets the biggest kick out of it.  Lately his FAVORITE show to watch is The Great Pumpkin Patch (Charley Brown) (it is still so funny to me how much he loves the classics).  The other day he was watching it and I was getting out of the shower and all I could here was him laughing hysterically out loud.  He was, no joke, laughing like this for half the movie.  He thought it was so funny when Lucie tries to convince Charley Brown to kick the football and Charley misses it and falls on his head.

Later that night, during bed time, I was singing him to sleep (he was so tired, mind you), and all of a sudden he starts busting out laughing.  He went silent and then out of no where he started laughing again in hysterics.  I couldn't get upset one bit, his laugh is so infectious, I started laughing out loud.  And then when he saw me laughing it only ignited more laughter within him and pretty soon both of us were crying we were laughing so hard.  I could just tell he was envisioning something so funny in his mind and it was giving him quite the case of the giggles :).  Then right before he'd go into another laughing streak he would fold his arms, then open them and yell "ahhh boo!" and start busting up laughing.  It by far was my favorite moment spent with him.  If that kid doesn't grow up to be a comedian, I'll be surprised :).

Amari has this new fascination with hiding under the sheets . . . he cracks me up.  ADD VIDEO

If Amari doesn't become an actor I will be seriously shocked; he LOVES reenacting movies.  He is so good at mimicking sounds, behaviors, expressions, etc.  All day long he will come up to me and reenact Charly Brown's Great Pumpkin patch when Linus and Sally are waiting outside for the great pumpkin to arrive (and it turns out to be Snoopy).  "There he is," he will shout, "there he is!!"  He is so serious about it and completely in character; it is such a riot to watch him!
