Laughing Edmund

Edmund was the talk of the school in this outfit from his Great Uncles

I'm happy to report that both Edmund and I survived the first week of preschool. Edmund is still as laid back as he was the first day (phew!). Edmund is already making friends. There is a little girl in his class named Emma who is exactly one week younger than Edmund. One day I put Edmund and Emma side by side on the floor mat. My intention was to see how their sizes compared, but to my surprise they linked arms. I don't think they realized they were separate beings seeing as how they both attempted to eat the other's hand. I must admit it was quite a cute sight. After about 5 minutes of this I realized I had my camera, but unfortunately by the time I retrieved it they had unlinked arms--oh well.

Edmund Has Tummy Time with a Classmate

I should also take the time to mention a very big milestone. Edmund is now laughing, allthough it took us awhile to figure out that the funny noise he makes from time to time is a laugh. He sucks in air repetitively, making somewhat of a long, low sound. After he does this for about 30 seconds he gives himself the hiccups. We're hoping he eventually figures out how to laugh without hiccuping because it cuts his laughing sessions short. And his laugh, funny as it may be, is contagious.
