Grand Strategy

I only take the baby into my bed to feed her. She’s a very cuddly baby and wants me to take her just to snuggle but I can’t because 1) I’m afraid I’ll fall asleep and drop her 2) the hospital doesn’t allow it for the same reason.

She is smart, though, so she came up with a way to trick me. She pretends she is hungry (sticks out her tongue, bites her fingers, makes hungry noises, etc), and once I get her into the bed and try to feed her, she hugs me tight, makes the cutest little face, and lets me know food is of no interest to her.

A little over two days old, and she already has a fine strategic mind.

  1. 🙂 Babies are awesome.
    I am always amazed how much personality babies and little kids have; honestly, our duty as parents is just to love them, give them value/education, and basically just not mess them up. Everything else they already possess.

  2. I hope you write about raising Klara. If you don’t, in the interests of privacy, I understand. If you do, could you tag those posts with a unique tag so it’ll be easier to search?

    I’m not sure I’ll have kids, but if I do I want a searchable index of posts from you that I can refer to for advice, starting from Day 1!

  3. This proves my hypothesis that kids are cleverer than grownups. They have a great potential, which we, adults, have none or little.

    But some grownups behave like babies, which shows that they have a feeling that they used to be really smart but can’t anymore.

    Another important thing about kids is that they are great learners. For example, I am sure that Klara will be as good linguistically as her cousin Mikaela, who knows several languages.
