Mollie will be eight weeks old today. Yesterday afternoon, Mollie and her mother
stopped by to sit in the shade of our deck and enjoy the last of summer’s warmth. The sound of adult conversation and the calls
of the songbirds gathering together in nearby trees soon lulled the little girl
to sleep.
Posted is a photograph of Mollie sleeping on her
mother’s lap. Infants sleep
perfectly. They are filled with
innocence and soft connections and a dawdling grace of movement that is
unmatched at any time later in life.
Sometimes, I think we need infants not so much to
continue our species as we need them to remind us to slow down and enjoy every
small moment provided.

What a cutie! Sometimes I miss having a baby. But then in hindsight I'm glad I've "been there and done that" and don't want to be there again, except vicariously.
ReplyDeleteI have never been around infants that much. They are lovely.
