the lives of little ones


If you're smiling at a baby upside down, does he interpret it as a smile or a frown?

It's L's second birthday on Sunday. It will be a small shindig--just the four of us, some balloons, a cake with sprinkles, and many oddly shaped presents.

'up' and 'down' aren't really spatial concepts that newborns are equipped to deal with. Remember: we're born seeing everything inverted anyways. It takes a little bit of time for the brain to wire itself to up and down. He's more interested in the shape of your face than whether it appears upside down.

Cute lil punkin you got there.

BP: Now I'm wondering what an inverted smile looks like. :)

Notso: A bonfire-pizza-cake thing! Cool.

Kari: We'll catch it all on home video for you.

Daniel: Me too!

My guess is that if I'm holding a baby upside down, it knows I'm smiling...
