We've read that when
the sun is shining on your mother's stomach you can sense the light.
Other than that, I guess that it's dark all the time where you are.
I never really thought about that - that you're growing up in the
dark. Until this week. This week we had a blackout and were in the
dark for almost three hours. I guess that there's less furniture
to bump into where you are, but still, perhaps it gave me a bit
of a feel for what it's like where you are.
And oh, you were at a
concert this week - and you were very well behaved. You let your
mother listen to the music without having you dancing around to
it all the time. To tell the truth, we're not really sure whether
your behavior when music is playing means you like music or not.
Since we want to believe that you like music, we interpret the fact
that you're usually not moving around while it's playing to mean
that it has a calming influence on you. On the other hand, perhaps
we're not correct in thinking that you're not kicking because you
have no complaint - making you don't want to dance to the music
we're exposing you to. Actually, a Mahler symphony might just be
a bit of a traumatic experience, what with so many sounds cascading
around you. Not that you're actually hearing them, but they're certainly
creating a great deal of reverberations for you in there. It must
be quite an experience.
The books again. They
tell us that you're probably very aware of the Braxton Hicks contractions,
even when your mother isn't. I can imagine that you would be. If
I were in a small spot that all of a sudden got even a bit smaller,
I definitely think I'd be aware of that - and I'm not too sure that
I'd like it very much.
