I've been with my baby grandson the last three days, and right speech is talking to him, mimicing his sounds and repeating sounds for him. Inside that amazing little mind is the ability to quickly learn to understand and then to speak. Lots of singing also goes on. His name is in the songs and they are about wild babies and riding around town (while we're rocking) and how much he's loved and introducing him to his home. His sounds are delightful. He is responsive and big eyed about this brand new world.
And looking at the world through his eyes it is new and bright and glorious. The shadows on the walls, the lines in a fabric, the lights in on the ceiling: all so magical. Baby view is the way to see life, for sure. And when they're around us, they gift us with joy and gratitude.
