Sleepy Time Giggles

I was putting Troy down for his nap today. He had just gotten comfortable, curled up on top of a pillow with his back resting against my side. When all of a sudden, he giggled. Just a single laugh at first, and then after a few seconds, another. And then another. I couldn’t help but smile as he turned to look at me, pacifier hanging out of the side of his grinning face. Looking so carefree and adorable. When he saw me smiling, he lost it and started giggling uncontrollably. I started laughing too, which made him laugh harder. It became infectious. He crawled up on my chest to give me a hug and share this moment, and as he felt the vibrations of my body moving and the rumbling of the laughter as it bubbled up inside me, he started to laugh harder. Feeling his body bouncing up and down on top of me, I let my laughter go. We kept like this for several minutes until he finally slid off me, sleepily closed his eyes with a smile still on his face, and drifted off to sleep.

I have no idea what set him off, whether it was a thought he suddenly had or a touch of the fabric on his face. Whatever it was, we both enjoyed just laughing for no reason.
