What is in a baby? I mean let’s look at it more deeply than just skin and bones. I mean what a privilege it must be to be able to carry a little live around for +- 9 months and to be able to feeling that little being grow inside you!
I’m not some kind of freak or anything. I am just really amazed at all the things that take part in the generating of that little life. It’s more than just sex! Yea, sure that is where it all starts but the developing stages that happen are so incredible.
About a year ago my little brother was born and he really is a delightful little thing. It is like one of those, life after death moments where you see your life through new eyes or some jazz like that. Seeing him grow during the weeks and seeing how he develops as he goes along is like I said truly amazing. Naturally being his older brother I have this instinctive notion to be protective and what have you but babies are so amazing and adapt to the situations around them venomously well. This is where my question about what is in a baby?
Speaking for myself as things happen I am thinking about things and I question situations in my head and I assume that most people out there do basically the same as me… what about babies… do they think… surly they must but how are they thinking? What do they think about and how do they put all the pieces together. Surly there is some neuron connection taking place in their heads but in what form?
Seriously speaking I do believe that children need both parents to play active roles in their children’s lives. To me it can only be to the greater good and development of that little being. I have notices that fathers take a little less interested role of interest in their children compared to that of the mothers. Please don’t get me wrong I am not saying this about all fathers. There are definitely some great Dad’s out there and that people do what they can to make life better for themselves and their families so I am not trying to attack anyone in particular I am just stressing my believe that a growing baby needs to have that input from both parents to be able to be a well balanced individual.
Needless to say that there is ever any real measurement as to what makes a baby or even an adult in that many words as “well balanced.” It is again one of those moments where you have to really decide for your self or maybe even do some soul searching and see what is been seen about you. This is actually starting to sound like one of my earlier blogs about looking into your self and being able to like the person you are, where in reality it just might be possible that the reason that we think the way we do is because of the input we received as invents by out parents.
Saying this though feels to me as unfair to blame parents for the way that their children do turn out. Sure they brought them into the world and taught them the skills needed to go out into the world and be the people that they are but just maybe it is our destiny (not actually sure weather or not I believe in destiny) that things happen to us in the way that they do… even this does not substantiate enough of a support structure as to why there is so much negativity in some people. I try and see the good but have come across one or two people every now and then who really are just plain evil. I would like to know what makes a person so angry that he wants to destroy another human being. In some instances this makes sense but then in so many others it just does not seem fair and accurate to blame. Sure circumstances can appear tuff but surely there are other options to available before murder, theft and so forth.
What I want to go into my baby is sugar and spice and all things nice… so guess that means I’m having a girl? ;-)
