Imagine a mom and dad, a human baby who has just arrived home, the daily routine of little things, the onesies, the smell of talcum powder, the cot with the blanket made by grandma and the picture with the name.
All these things tell a story, and they tell a lot.
They tell about you, about your new life, about how you are welcoming it and living it. They tell about a little one who is becoming familiar with a new environment, who is slowly making his way into a world he didn’t know existed, and which is not his mom.
They tell about sleepless nights, about breastfeeding, about tiredness, about little hands and feet, about diaper changes and onesies that in the next two weeks will have already become small.
I will tell you this, so you can remember it, show it to your baby when he grows up, or to loved ones far away.
You will relive it by seeing yourself as you really were, at home with smiles and hands that are hesitant because you still don’t know how to pick up this little bundle without fear of breaking it.
