What's so funny?

You all know that Luke’s sense of humor is unique.  How many kids think that rolling a ball into a wall is funny? Or think that putting a book on a wall and then letting go, resulting in the book falling, is funny?  Not many.  But those are just a couple of things Luke finds funny.   There are so many other little things.

One of the things I just don’t get, is how he laughs when I try to dress him.  It isn’t just any piece of clothing that makes him laugh.  If you put on pants or a T-shirt, he doesn’t laugh….at least not a lot.  It is when I try putting on his PJ’s that have feet and zips down the middle.  Whether I am trying to zip him up or unzip him, he laughs so hard that he scrunches up by pulling his arms in and his legs up, which usually results in his torso bending also.  He is almost in a “fetal position” because he is laughing so hard.  You know how hard it is to actually get him zipped up or to unzip him?  He laughs so hard it takes two hands and sometimes my legs to hold him down enough to either zip or unzip him.

For some reason he also does this when I put a shirt on him that buttons in front.  Luke has a pair of PJ’s that does this and a few dress shirts.  The silly guy makes it so hard just to get him dressed when there are buttons.  It takes so long just to simply button or unbutton a shirt, because he laughs and pulls his arms in and bends over all at once.  I’ve learned to pre-button as many buttons as possible to save time.  Then I usually only have to fight Luke’s laughter to button one top button.  I’m not sure I’ll ever understand his sense of humor.

I tried to capture this in the video below.  He usually curls up more on me, but you can get an idea of what I described above.
