You toddle over,

your two tooth grin wide.

When tapped

upon your button nose

you burst with

belly laughs.

I met Iona today.  Iona is little, and doesn’t speak yet, but she oozes personality!

  5. Beautifully said. I was just thinking today how babies have the best laughs. They laugh with their whole bodies. Love it.
