Dr. Ezra and Mr. Hyde
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007I have summed my life experience of Ezra’s moods from birth to now. I have equated he has two time states: one in the morning and one in the evening.
I have equated that Ezra during the morning is a fun loving baby that is quiet and calm (most of the time) when awake. Ezra during the morning time is actually a bliss to be with. He smiles and looks around at the world. He doesn’t fidget much. He even seems to poop more freely thus avoiding a tense and unsuccessful poopy dance.
I have also equated that during the evening Ezra begins to transition to fussy baby. The quiet and calm baby becomes loud and fidgety. He cries and screams more often, and he has more poopy dances that don’t result in poops. He is just more tense.
I reason these two time states of Ezra exist because during the morning time Ezra has had the most sleep, so his mind and body are calm and rested. And that I have also had the most sleep and don’t project my tension to him. (This is not to mean when I first wake up I am happy and full of joy, but once I have had some caffeine and submitted to the fact I will not be getting more sleep I wake up and cheer up and enjoy the calm and fun loving baby.)
It is still the morning time. All the cries and screams of last night feel like they came from a different baby than the one I was with this morning and the one now sleeping next to me.
