Just for Laughs

I have no idea what is happening upstairs right now, but it sounds funny.
There are some guaranteed ways to make Joseph laugh. One is to lay him flat and rub your nose on his belly. Don't ask me why this works, but it usually brings out the giggles. Tickling his feet makes him smile, but not always laugh. If he's ticklish in the way I am then there's probably only a small space between funny tickling and tickling to the point of finding it hard to breath and being in pain. I'll not risk that, it's very unpleasant.
If he's sat by the side of the sofa and you lean over and shout "Boo!" then he'll laugh, and the more you catch him by surprise the better. He seems to actually like being made to jump! Today I found out that simply opening your mouth wide and saying "Aaaagh!" at him is a good way to get a laugh.
Standing holding him and spinning round in circles is usually a good one for laughs, but I can't do it or very long as I get quite nauseous. Andy likes to pick him up by the ankles and spin round and even upside down Joseph finds the whole experience side splittingly good. I have no idea why he doesn't throw up!
Chasing him around the living room is also funny and if you stop and kneel on the floor he'll sneak up behind you and push you in the middle of your back. The best thing to do is to fall over forwards in your best comedy pratfall and he'll laugh then all right and he might even try and help you up by pulling on your belt. A few days ago Andy was playing this game with Joseph but instead of just falling over he reached round and grabbed Joseph by the legs, bringing him too. As far as I could tell Joseph thought it was the funniest thing that had ever happened to him, at least until this evening.
Well.... if you can't act the goat with your fifteen month old son, when can you do it?
