I always say that my kids make me laugh more than anything. It really is hard to be in a bad mood around them. Not impossible, we have our days, but hard. Here is a small sampling of a few times my son has made me laugh...or, at a minimum, smile...recently.
B likes to sing himself to sleep sometimes and over the holidays he was kind of obsessed with Frosty the Snowman. One night I heard him sing a new version:
"Mom-my the gi-irl, 
was a jolly happy girl."

Often when I change his sheets, he'll go to the front of his fire engine bed (which he calls 'Lightning') and says:
"It's ok, Lightning, we're fixing you. It's ok. It's almost done. It's ok...there! All done. Don't you feel better?" (All the while patting the top of the bed.)

Neil Diamond was singing on the TV. B points and yells:
"Daddy!" (I AM married to a rock star! Who knew?)

Regarding bedtime/naptime being over.
In a demanding mood:
"Mommy! Open. The. Door. NOW!"
Begging:
"Mommy, you want to open the door pleeeeeeeeeease?"
Encouraging:
"Mommy, you can open the door! Try! You can do it!"

When putting the towel around his waist after a bath to keep warm while I put lotion on his arms and face, he says:
"Ok, like Tarzan. AHHHHH-EEEEE!!!"

(Not so recent but I giggle every time I think of it. From last summer.)
Kids are anxiously awaiting Norah's arrival to celebrate her birthday. 
"I see her! I see Norah! Oh, no. That's not Norah, that's a house."

Finally, according to Brandon "happy new year" is too broad. Ever since January 1st, he's been saying, each morning: 
"Happy New Day!"

Each day is a "new day" full of new opportunities for him to make me laugh. Which he does.

Happy new day, friends!

{P.S. Here's a time I used E's words to describe her year.}
