Video is lovely. We tell that the laugh is contagious. In that moment, it's difficult to imagine babies who laugh a lot because my girlfriend's twins often cry.

Yes1 Laughter is contagious.
Sometimes it is difficult to imagine.
I wonder why they cry?

I don't know.. . Today, parents have an other way to take care of children. It was very different when I took care of my children.

Great sentence Huguette! The structure and word placement is English. good job!

Yes, parenting is different today. I never had children so I cannot compare with the way I would have parented them ... but today they seem to make things complicated and by the book all the time ... expecting everyone else to do as they do. They don't have a relaxed style ... maybe the children can feel the stress.
