Amoebas

Ever look at amoebas under a microscope? Constantly changing shape and always in motion. That is what Maeve and Milo looked like the other day at the gelato shop. What a lovely site to see these two beings, both dressed in sherbert orange learning to move their bodies.

First things first though. The initial folks that looked like a bunch of amoebas were the flock of girls that surrounded Milo on the street. Those boys eyelashes just pulled those girls in like moths to a flame. Should have heard them ooohing and aahhing at him. Then they saw Milo's girlfriend, Maeve. Another few oohs and aahs and they were off. We then took the celebs to the gelato shop to cool down.

Maeve and Milo sat/stood/crawled/bounced/bopped, you name it, on the bench next to us. It's amazing to see their little bodies always in motion. Always making corrections and adjustments. Their little orange clad bodies were sometimes wrapped around each other as they made their way. Gross motor skills and motor control depend upon the proper functioning of the brain, skeleton, joints and nervous system. Soon they will master that and move on to the fine motor movements.

What I would trade, beg, borrow or steal to witness just a few more moments like these before they move on .
