The day my son laughed for the first time

The scene was Leicester Square, the place was the 'All in one' restaurant. Landon laughed for the first time. My dad stole the first smile a few weeks ago so I was over the moon to bag such a prize. I was eating my steak sandwich and I noticed him looking at me and smiling, obviously I am very funny to look at. A quick look at him and a smile and he burst out laughing at me.



Before that we had been to Covent Garden, there was a guy singing opera and I must say he was very good. Outside there was an Australian who had pulled his shoulder out of his socket and he squeezed himself through a tennis racket. He was teasing the crowd and we laughed at his jokes for a while until he finished his act. He said he didn't want money as that would just embarrass both of us and that a pint would be great. That was my ticket to walk away without paying and I did just that.



We had a walk around Leicester Square and had a bite to eat. Lights were being set up for a premier but we didn't stay as we had to get back.

In the evening Dan, Lee and I sunk a few pints in the local pub whilst playing poker and talking about the old days.
