As we watch Baby M grow, we cannot help but speculate what future careers lay ahead of her. At one day old, she showed perfect boxing stance: fists drawn up to chest, a scowl on her face saying, "Just try it. I dare you." (See above picture). This is how she would fall asleep every night, unwilling to give in to sleep without a fight. Of course, once she fell asleep, her fists slowly lowered down to her side. The more deep asleep she became, the more her arms straightened out.
Then we thought she might like to become a can-can dancer, as much as she liked playing with her legs and throwing them willy-nilly all day long. But that soon gave way to the idea of becoming a contortionist.
How about sky-diver? In an effort to avoid any semblance of snuggling or cuddling, Little M will arch her back and throw her arms and legs behind her (in a perfect sky-diving position) as someone holds her upright.
Now we're thinking what lies ahead is public speaking or political office. She loves to talk. And when she does, there is no stopping her. You can just see her on top of a little soapbox with her lips up to a microphone. She is very in earnest of what she has to say, and she will talk over anybody until her point has been made. And even though you can't understand her, you also can't help but to believe in the ideals that she feels very strongly about in her little speeches. I'd vote for her. She makes very compelling arguments.
