When you point one finger at someone there are 3 more pointing back at you.
This was the first line of a song I learnt back in school. The lyrics go on to say what the middle finger is saying and what the ring finger is saying; I must not have been listening 'cause I don't remember. But, it's apparent that Suhaana doesn't agree with the song at all.
Ever since her newborn days (she's going to be 2 months old now! Can scarcely imagine where time is flying) she uses to always hold the index finger of both her hands out. As if she's pointing at something, anything. Or maybe she's giving instructions: 'This is how you should be changing the diaper'. Or maybe she needs some more time: 'Just gimme one more minute with this pacifier; I promise I'll be done in 1 more minute'. Or maybe it's her do-not-disturb sign: 'I'm busy with this bottle now, your cooing and talking is just distractive and mildly annoying, just go and sit over there( finger pointing)'.
I've rankled my brain trying to figure out what the finger pointing means. Till I noticed her toes. They're usually wide apart from each other. Each toe stands out like it's got nothing to do with the other four. It's like crying out 'I'm not with them!!' I figured, the index finger and her toe fingers are just not a friendly lot. See for yourself!
That is so cute... the fingers also need time to bond with each other :)
ReplyDeleteAs a lactation consultant would say: they just need more skin-to-skin. Lol
