how do babes know what they know?

yesterday my babe and i (he's a three yr old tot) were playing on the bed...we sleep on a big king sized futon, and he was jumping up and down yelling ~

'i have gooooood love mama! i have good love!'

i was laughin at him, or with him rather , and i said, 'oh you do, well so do i, i have good love too!'

then he became very serious and said, 'no you don't, you don't have good love mama. your heart is broken down...your heart is broken down and closed up.

then 'but my heart is not broken down because i have good love...my heart is open, because people keep it open...'

so i said, 'really, what people?'

'the people who work for me.'

oh...those people...

Good story, Salome.

today my babe said to me, in the softest, sweetest voice...almost a whisper...

"mama, i really don't want to kill you...i love you."

my babe was making up songs and singing them to me today...i believe i now know what angels singing in heaven must sound like...

here's one of his songs ~

when you don't rise
then the sky will fall down on you

then you run away
and nothing happens...

then we love.

and here is a list of things that change when you have a baby...

reading this, i was so touched, i was laughing and crying simultaneously...esp at the last one, omg, there is more truth in that than anything i've ever come to know as truth...

1. You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.

2. You finally stop to smell the roses, because your baby is in your arms.

3. Where you once believed you were fearless, you now find yourself afraid.

4. You're less self-involved and more self-motivated.

5. The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.

6. You respect your body ... finally. (Hooray for baby-making!)

7. You have stronger opinions and are stronger willed.

8. You respect your parents and love them in a new way. (Hooray for grandparents!)

9. You find that your baby's pain feels much worse than your own.

10. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child. (Hooray for the tooth fairy!)

11. You lose touch with the people in your life that you should have banished years ago.

12. Your heart breaks much more easily.

13. You think of your baby 234,836,178,976 times a day. In fact, you're so busy with this that you forget everything else.

14. Every day is a surprise.

15. Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you. (Hooray for poop!)

16. You think before you speak.

17. You become a morning person. (Hooray for watching the sun rise!)

18. If you have a son, you no longer curse men. (Hooray for all men!)

19. If you have a daughter, you hope she won't endure your same heartaches.

20. Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power.

indubitably.

another original babe song ~

when the sun doesnt rise on you...

then there are no clouds in the sky...

so you go get a latte...

and we go to a restaurant,

then we exit...

all in your eyes.

my little boy runs around these days with the cutest things in his head...

he's begun addressing me as 'captain', and often responds to me with 'aye aye captain!!'

so today, after he said 'aye aye captain' the following dialogue ensued...

me: aye aye captain! you're a captain too...

him: no i'm not, you are!! you're the captain!!

me: oh ok, i'm the captain...

him: you're the captain, and i follow you...

him: you drive the boat

him: and i follow you in my boat...

me: oh, that's good...

him: but first, i think we need to go to the store...

me: we do?

him: yes...and buy a boat.

Sweetness Follows

Readying to bury your father and your mother,
what did you think when you lost another?
I used to wonder why did you bother,
distanced from one, blind to the other?

Listen here my sister and my brother
what would you care if you lost the other?
I always wonder why did we bother,
distanced from one, deaf to the other.

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows

It's these little things, they can pull you under.
Live your life filled with joy and wonder.
I always knew this altogether thunder
was lost in our little lives.

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.

It's these little things, they can pull you under.
Live your life filled with joy and thunder.
Yeah, yeah we were altogether
lost in our little lives.

Oh. Oh. Ah.

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.

dear maklhouf...babies are not to be feared and despised, more and more of them will come here, and there will be plenty of room for them all...

they are blessings from goddess...

and i would never exploit a thing about my babe...he's most amazing, don't you think?

babe said tonight, out of the blue....

"mama, your heart isn't connected anymore...but mine is, that's why i love."

so i said, what do you mean by connected...?

"the two pieces of your heart aren't together anymore...but my heart pieces are still together, my heart is still connected."

so i asked him, does that mean i can't love?

and he said, "oh no, you can still love, even though your heart is broken and doesn't work....it's not connected, but you can still love...

we can both love."
