These days, I've realized that I'm such a fake compared to my 3 month old son. He neither dwells on the past nor invokes the future, his mind is literally never anywhere else. Right now, this moment, that's all he considers. Not only does he never lie, he doesn't even exaggerate - ever! He communicates his feelings and desires the moment they happen. He doesn't hold a grudge. He never tries to manipulate anyone, and he's absolutely incapable of holding anything in. This, of course, mainly includes hiccups, burps, toots, pee, and his own personal version of poop - currently a shade of mustard with the consistency of melted butter. On the other hand, I hold almost everything in - and sometimes for quite a while!
Wow! - Have I got a lot to learn!
