I remember

I don't know how everyone else felt about the first time they heard their child really laugh.  I felt like crying I was so happy.  All kids laugh.  The thing is that critter's laughs always sounded a little fake.  Like you laugh at a joke your boss tells that's not funny.

I was watching tv in the living room and he was watching youtube videos on the computer in their room.  He was watching people falling down.  Yes, I know probably inappropriate.  I heard a sound I had never heard before.  My boyfriend asked, "is that critter."  I got up and went to see.  He was laughing so hard tears were streaming down his face.  He looked at me and says, "Mommy this is so funny."  He was 10 yrs old.  That was the point when I realized that was the first time I'd ever heard a true laugh from him since he was a baby.
