Eternal youngness
So last night we went to my cousin's house for dinner and I got to play with Aiden, my 6-month-old (almost to the day) baby cousin. He tried to eat all of my bracelets as well as a couple of my fingers. There's something so beautiful about little babies and how they don't seem to be able to comprehend anything around them, and yet they're just little people so they really might absorb everything and wonder about it later. Like on Rugrats, where the babies can understand all of what the old people say. Maybe Aiden's just a wallflower and doesn't make noise so he can understand things about all of his siblings; like I do sometimes. I wish I could see him more often (they live in California), or at least know that I may see him again before he's walking.
"Sometimes when I look at babies, I just get lost in their eyes, seeing the eternal youngness of things. And then I think about it, and it's gone."
