A short video of Zack laughing his husky laugh. Not looking my usual glamourous self but have to post on here as I think it's the best noise in the world. Oh and the high pitched noise that sounds like I am communicating with Dolphins is me telling Zack we are going swimming....well he doesn't have his hearing aids in!!!

This isn't my blog, it's Zack's. Zack arrived here seven weeks early, he had no heartbeat and wasn't breathing. He suffered catastrophic damage to his brain, he has cerebral palsy, problems with his hearing, vision and feeding. Our lives are both challenging and extraordinary. He is a gift. I hope that for whatever reason you find yourself reading this blog it can go some way to help those in the same situation and some way to remove the cloak that covers parenting a child with disabilities.

The day Zack laughed
Oh. My. God.
I won't forget this day. Zack laughed. He has done it once before but I couldn't be 100% sure but this time, it was the sweetest, cutest, little laugh. Twice.
I can't even say that I was doing something funny and believe me I have tried to do funny. Tried the funny faces, the silly voices, the peek-a-boos, the jumping up and down, everything. I may have gotten the odd smile but it's hard work. Zack is a tough crowd. Well this evening I was doing the least funny thing you could imagine.
We were in the bathroom and I was running his bath. Zack was on his towel on the floor and I was telling him he was going to have a bath and taking his top off when he looked straight at me and did a really long baby chuckle. At first I looked at him and thought, what the hell was that noise and then he did it again. I started shouting for Dan but as soon as he came in he had stopped. I couldn't get him to do it again. Dan asked what it sounded it like, I said exactly how a baby would chuckle if they found something really amusing. I am in complete shock. I have never heard Zack make a baby noise let alone laugh. I wish Dan could have shared it too as I will never forget it, but I have a feeling this isn't the last laugh from Zack.
Well done the Pants.
