Corner View:Through the Eyes of a Child

 My latest grandchild

and my last (so I've been told)

was two days short of five months

when I kept her and her brother

for about seven hours.

Since she and her family live in Texas

I don't often get the opportunity

to see life through her eyes.

Abigail Elizabeth

This toy made sounds

but Abby simply wanted one of the rings in her mouth.

"Ahhh, this looks interesting!"

"Let's get a closer look."

"Closer, closer---yep, it can go in the mouth too.  Yeah!"

But the best item in her view

was a crinkly farm animal book.

(I accidentally didn't pack this

and will be sending it to you, daughter.

Oops!)

Here she has spotted it

and is working her way toward it.

"Oh goody!  Grandma helped me get it."

                                                (Abby is scooting a little and trying to crawl,

but as we were away from mama,

I didn't think it wise for her to get frustrated and cranky.)

Notice, she isn't checking out the pictures.

Through her eyes,

 this book's purpose is to ease her teething gums. 

"Much better!"

As we waited for big brother to wake up from his nap,

her gums seemed to be bothering her more and more.

Now we adults would not think of putting our toes in our mouth,

would we?!

But Abby eyed them and thought, "Hmmm, let's give them a try."

They worked great---even better than the book! :)
