After the subject matter of my last post, I thought I'd write about one of my more favorite subjects. Something that no matter what is going on while this world is whirling around at mach 90, can make me smile.
Take a look at my little man tipping his bottle up all by himself, with a look expressing contentment.
We diagnose the looks that people give us everyday. Most of the time we're accurate but some looks can leave you to ponder their meaning. Whether it is a look from a co-worker, an acquaintance or love interest. If you get a look that puzzles you, it's natural to think to yourself "I wonder what that meant?" Were they mad, did they take that last comment wrong, does she like me?
Diagnosing the expression of an infant is a science and for new parents a quick learning curve is vital.
If you haven't noticed, I can be pretty sappy when it comes to PZH, I can't help it and "do you know what?", I don't want to help it. I want to embrace it and fertilize it.
His look fascinates me in this pic. His lips are tightly wrapped around the bottle's nipple. He's strategically placed his healthy little digits so that they're propping up the bottle, illustrating his desire to get the last drop. I am speculating at the meaning of the look that I was talking about and served as the catalyst for this post. The look we shared, was more than a look, it was a conversation.
Dad: "Hey bud, are you enjoying your breakfast that Momma made for you."
Pierce: "Yes, thank you Dad."
Dad: "I love you bud."
Pierce: "Love you too Dad."
We'll see how far off base my diagnosis is when we start to have actual conversations. When we do, I can assure you that there will be more funny, laugh out loud subject matters but that won't mean that I'll abandon the sappy ones.
My experiences are new to me, the lessons learned are probably not new to you. Most of the time, I'm just working out in my head, what the Silver and Black Lining is.
