The first time I notice S— (not as a newborn) playing with his belly on the floor I am flooded with emotions of how at ease he is. I stiffen. I am transported back to my childhood. Was I ever that comfortable? He has his feet up in the air and moves around a LEGO toy within his limited reach. He slides over the hardwood to grab another piece. He’s like a cat, when they roll over from side to side, on their back to be pet because they feel secure to open up to you. The sun is bursting through the window and cutting across him with its shadow. A 3rd floor of a triplex will do that.
