Not that FoH wasn’t paying attention before … because he was … I mean, dear Lord, the kid came out paying attention.

Literally, People. In the birth canal. That’s what took so long — the doctor told me he kept turning his head around to, check things out.

I’m still confused as to what “things” there were to “check out” down there or rather in there. My point of oversharing is this: the kid has always been alert.

However, he just didn’t have the motor and verbal skills to communicate like he does now. And now?

Now nothing gets by him. He hears all, sees all. He pays attention to every single damn little detail.

Life — good Life — happens in the details. With every exclamation of mumbled baby words and each pointing of the fingers, I stop. I join him.

We marvel together.
