People say that astrology is bunk. Perhaps. Here's a quotation from Noah's free profile on astrology.com: "Like the energy of the first rush of spring, you move into the world in a headstrong, pioneering way. You are likely to rush into things before reflecting, and may also be impatient or unwilling to sit back and allow events to mature. You have great vitality and a tremendous need to be physically active. You have a strong will, and are self-centered about pursuing it, so that you may try to dominate other people until you learn to be more subtle about getting your way."
Recently, I have been changing Noah's diaper while he stands at his bookshelf sorting out which books are to remain on the shelf and which belong on the floor. What's wrong with the changing table? Nothing that I can perceive, but Noah sees things differently (as many pioneers do). He is unwilling to lie on his back for the thirty-odd seconds it takes for the diapering event to mature. He is apt to rush off the table without reflecting that it's a long way to the floor.
Lunch today brought further demonstration of Noah's will. He consents to be spoon-fed no longer. He pursed his lips, swiped at the spoon and spit pureed lamb and apple sauce until I relented and offered rice crackers, avocado pieces and small cubes of Swiss cheese, all of which he ate with aplomb.
