Every newborn session I hold the baby and ask them to tell me all of their secrets. All of the secrets to the universe. I believe they know much more than we do. I believe babies will tell US what their path will be. Unfortunately, parents and adults have their agendas for their kids. I have always thought this. But I just read Mastery by Robert Greene. He wrote exactly what instinctively I feel in my heart with children and teens. Why do some kids take to math and science so quickly, or some kids would rather collect rocks than play on the swings. My Dear friend Dawn's, (Gigi to her grandchildren, Presleigh and Jackson) Grandchildren are articulate beyond their years! At the age of three Presleigh uses perfect grammar, saying things like: "Jackson, please put the toy down nicely" and Jackson and I are going to go to Izzy's house tomorrow. 3 Years old! I'd give that child some paper and a pencil write write write!
Its now 2018. I started this post back in 2015. Don't ask! BUT I'm here now and I still whisper in every newborn's ear and ask them to tell me the secrets to the universe! I added pictures of Knox, grandson to Gigi Jamie. I asked him the question too. I waited for him to coo and "talk" to me He had so much to say! If I was only well versed in newborn talk!
My message to everyone is to please pause and let someone else get a word in. Even the babies. I learn the most from the children and grandchildren of my friends! They speak from the heart.
Happy New Year!
