Even a tiny creature like a six pound baby can learn fast. She already knows she has the room now to stretch out her arms and push out her little legs. She has learned how to suck. She has learned that her favorite position is attached to a nipple. If she is awake and the nipple in not there she opens her mouth like a little baby bird and moves her head in all directions looking for it. Look at this kissable feet of hers. Where will they take her? Will she be a dancer or a soccer player or a postal employee? How many continents will she travel? Will she be restless or settled? The opportunities for these tiny tooties are unlimited.
