Unfortunately, Exercise is Funny

Baby laughter is more contagious than pink eye. Any time Crew starts laughing we gather around him and join in, which makes him laugh more (probably at us, not with us). As we've discovered, and found true with other parents, the changing table is somehow a happy place for babies. It is definitely Crew's happy place. I was changing Crew's diaper one night and dropped something. I disappeared from his sight when I bent down to get it, and when I stood up, I got a big laugh from him. So... I did it again, getting another big chuckle. I proceeded to squat and stand for him repeatedly, even calling Michelle into the room to watch this amazing discovery. Each time I'd pop up, Crew would laugh. After about a kagillion squats, I felt like I was back in 8th grade doing squat thrusts for Coach Gonzalez. Man was I wrong when I disagreed with him that I would ever use squat thrusts after 8th grade.

Unfortunately for me, the thing that makes my kid laugh the most involves exercise. Why couldn't he think eating ice cream was funny? Or watching me watch tv? But, if it's squats that make him laugh, you can call me the King of Squat... and eventually the most fit guy in the neighborhood.

Here is a video of Crew laughing at exercise. It's 34 seconds long, cause that's the longest amount of time I can do non-stop squats without passing out.
