The Thing About Babies

The thing about babies is that they are all consuming. 

Honestly,  how could you look anywhere else when this is in the room?
That's my only excuse for the delay in posting this morning.  

She sleeps and eats and needs her diaper changed. She's not much of a conversationalist. She has no sporting achievements about which to brag.
And yet,  she is infinitely fascinating. 

Asleep
or awake
everything is new.

I have spent hours watching her watching the black and white checkerboard, wondering what she makes of it all. 

We leave tomorrow morning.  My brain will be filled with New College and Ja Morant and all the other mundane nonsense that grown ups think about.  

My heart,  though,  will be carrying her closer than close,  no matter how far away she is.

  1. This is a much sweeter topic that your last post. You write so lovingly about your new grandbaby.

    1. She is lovely and possibly the easiest child ever born. She makes writing a breeze.
