Who woulda thought such a small person...Jah - see? Who woulda thought such a small person could absorb so very much time? But she's absorbing more than that; she's in a very foreign country, so foreign she doesn't even understand even the concept there of language - in your arms, she is busily learning the laws of physics on this planet, watching action and reaction in everything, the social part of the world not least. Whatever she is using of you, her own brain is working at a learning rate higher than any of us experience for the rest of our lives - a miracle of self-programming. And from all of this, she will derive her basic expectations of life, love, people, physics - her view of the world, which will color every choice she ever makes.<br /><br />No pressure. But really - the only pressure is that you and your lovely husband be the best people you know how to be, because what you are is in every tone of your voice. She will feel that love. That safety. That warmth in her mind and heart even when she is old and you are gone. The gifts you give her now, she will give to hers, and they will give to theirs. <br /><br />Amazing. Amazing how fall-in-loveable a baby is. I know. I remember. And I'm getting a new grand one in two weeks, so YIPEE!! And bless your hearts. Your silence in this blog only lets me know you are doing it right.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040714440875408436noreply@blogger.com
