A Baby life

As a 1st time mum my eyes have been opened to a lot of things that I would never have considered before. Especially how in a babies life there are a number of things they do and we do with them that is deemed acceptable behaviour, but if you were to do it with an adult would be out right wrong. Let me put this picture in your mind. Your baby has farted. Your not sure if he has farted or pooed. So you pick him up and sniff his bottom. Thats ok right. Well imagine you did this to another adult. Sniffed there bottom. When politicians do it it's classed as outrageous and no one would ever really do this. But it got me thinking about the things we do with babies and the more I thought about the more things I came up with.

For example:

- People kiss babies feet - Of course this is ok because babies don't walk yet right. But imagine doing this to an adult.

- People sing to babies to make them happy, in public and private. Imagine if every time you had a friend upset or you wanted a smile from someone you just belted out a tune.

- Randomly most people will blow raspberries on their childs belly. I can't even describe why this is wrong to do to an adult without laughing. 

- Strangers will often greet a baby they don't know and choose to touch them by either rubbing there arm, face or hair. Imagine if every time you met someone they proceed to stroke you in some way. Uncomfortable.

- Baby talk. I don't even need to explain this one. 

Anyway you get the gist. There are things we do with babies that we would never do with adults. Which got me thinking are there things that babies do that we would never do ourselves as adults. Of course there is.

- Babies will openly stare at whomever they want whenever they want and no one judges them. If an adult did that it would be awkward.

- Babies will openly fart, burt and poo in public and no one bats an eyelid.

- Babies will scream at the top of their lungs for no reason and the most inconvenient time. Imagine being in a meeting and an adult did this.
- Babies will drool so much that they wet their shirt

- Babies laugh at things that they see or hear for the 1st time. I wish adults could experience this joy again

AND

- Babies don't care what other people think as long as there mum and dad love them

I guess my point is that a babies lives are pure and so different from an adults. Furthermore it wasn't until I started thinking about these things that I realised how different a babies life is and how much they change over time to become us. Amazing.
