"When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl."
--Peter Pan, Act I
Little Man has been smiling for awhile now, but a few days ago we heard his first real, honest-to-goodness laugh. It is quite possibly the best noise I have ever heard. It's a deep, throaty chuckle, and he laughs with his whole body. No high pitched giggles for our Stinker.
Which makes me think that his fairy doesn't dart around lightly like most fairies do. His fairy probably makes himself comfortable on a toad stool somewhere and munches on bits and pieces. Much like Little Man himself.
