I’ve mentioned my manager and his baby many times but it is so funny how the baby is just like… his friend. Like I had great parents, I’ve met a lot of great parents, and I’ve never met somebody who talks about their baby like he does.
He’s like “aw I actually can’t go out that night, I’m gonna hang out with [baby’s name].” He talks about her like they have conversations even though she can’t talk yet. It’s never “I took her” to a place, it’s always “we went.” He’s confident that she understands most if not all that happens around her and acts accordingly and it’s so sweet.
When he brought her to see us at work the first time, he was making a pot of coffee for her mom, and even though she was still tiny I remember he talked her through how to make coffee just as if he was talking to an adult.
She’s one now, but I’ve worked with him since she was born and can guarantee he’s always been like this.
He’s like “yes I am friends with my baby, unlike other people my baby is very cool.”
That is gonna be so fucking good for her development.
Feeling appreciated, getting undivided attention, being taught that she’s basically competent and just needs experience to do things, the language modelling, the behaviour modelling, the respect for her as a person.
my brother treats his kids like this, and they are just about the happiest kids i ever met.
Jade and striped icebergs. “When seawater at depths of more than 1,200 feet freezes to the underside of massive ice shelves like East Antarctica’s Amery Ice Shelf, it forms ‘marine ice.’ Enormous hunks of ice calve—or break off—from the ice shelf, creating icebergs. When one of these icebergs overturns, its jade underside is revealed. The wondrous color of this ‘marine ice’ results from organic matter dissolved in the seawater at those great depths,” explained Audubon Magazine. “Green icebergs are infrequently seen because their verdant bellies are underwater; it’s only when they flip over, a rare event, that their richly colored regions can be seen before they melt. Striped icebergs, perhaps even more scarce than jade bergs, are thought to form in one of two ways: either meltwater refreezes in crevasses formed atop glaciers before they calve icebergs (creating blue stripes), or seawater freezes inside cracks beneath ice shelves (creating green stripes).”
