Perspective of a Baby

Aidan was crying tonight. He was laying on our bed and started getting fussy which led to a full-blown crying fest. As I comforted him, I couldn't help but think how it must be kind of hard to be a baby.

I mean - you are basically at the mercy of the people around you. Let's hope that those people around you are pretty good at reading you.

Think about it. You have no say about anything. What if you are laid down in a position that you don't like? What if you are hot? Or cold? What if you are scared facing backwards in the backseat of the car? What if you feel claustrophobic in the car seat? What if your diaper is too tight on you? The list could go on and on. As I watched Aidan crying, I couldn't help but feel bad for him. I mean - he was upset about something. It made me kind of sad. He is at my mercy and I better hope that I can read his cues.

I guess that's why they call it "mommy intuition."
