Some of us don't have contact with babies, so we are vicariously enjoying yours.<BR/><BR/>Although Alexander will have no conscious memory of his early life events, that is memory in his brain memory recalled in words, he will have a physical memory. My understanding is that recalled memories are begun to be laid down as we acquire language and are there when we have the words to access them, but prior to acquiring language, our early experiences (pre language acquisition)we have memories of in our body - particularly our stomach, which is made of the same cells as the brain (which is why we feel emotions in our stomachs - butterflies, anxiety/churning). <BR/><BR/>So Alexander will have warm fuzzy loved tummy-full happy memories from this time. <BR/><BR/>Bless.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223682934383856392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-1156949797312250712006-08-30T15:56:00.000+01:002006-08-30T15:56:00.000+01:00Have a good flying trip to see the little one and ...Have a good flying trip to see the little one and don't get too knackered.imfunnytoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12942406430628029505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-1156948985894135512006-08-30T15:43:00.000+01:002006-08-30T15:43:00.000+01:00To be realistic, Goldfish, feeling tender and prot...To be realistic, Goldfish, feeling tender and protective towards the young of one's species is a basic survival requirement. That's why most societies put a premium on child protection of some kind and regard child killing or abuse as such a crime.<BR/><BR/>When I worked in theatres I assisted at a lot of caesareans. Do you know, every time a baby gave its first cry I could feel a pricking behind the eyelids, and looking around, I wasn't alone. Hardened, gnarled old Theatre Sisters, the original Gorgons, would take time to coo over parents and baby. It's a normal human instinct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
