Babies

[ritaxis]

Here's a trailer for a movie I've not heard of before.

Watch the first scene of the trailer a bunch of times before you come to a conclusion about exactly what has passed between these two babies. (any time you have two babies who can sit up you will see the same scene played out several times a day, with variations, and no, it doesn't mean they're not getting along. It means that learning to do things together is hard work and babies get frustrated -- these babies are clearly the best of friends).

Babies are amazing

I didn't have any of my own but helped several friends raising kids without spouses.

But one of the most amazing progress things I'm witness to is this: I work at our local Renaissance Festival in a shop owned by a friend. The next door neighbors, a sword/knife/etc. maker and his wife, had a baby a bit more than three years ago.

So this year was is FOURTH year at the RenFest even though he's only three. I'm getting to see his development in clear chunks. He has a brother who is 16 this year, his folks had one of his baby photos with his dad in the booth this year and I asked if it was Z last year! (my friend Victoria could have had one photo for all three of her kids until they got to about two, until they started coming into themselves, they were pretty much identical.)

Last year Trina got kind of tired of me. Because Z (2-y-o) was 2. Even asking him a question that would usually elicit a 'yes' answer sometimes got a hollered/cried "NO!"

I'd holler over, "Trina, sounds like you have a two-year-old!" and she'd holler back, "Just shut up, Paula!"

This year he is much more into words and the world, and more amazed at my minivan than ever (it has electronic doors all the way around, operated by the key fob...).

And this year, every evening he'd take a book over to his favorite aunt Ruth (at the booth on the other side of us) and she'd read to him under a hawthorn tree.

One of the special things is his big brother is very into him and loving him.

When the smaller baby started to wail, my baby stopped nursing and looked up at me, as if to say "Is it okay, mama?"
