I believe that babies can see things that adults can’t see. Yes, I might have seen too many Hollywood movies, such as The City Of Angels. Well, I know it sounds a little spooky,but how can you explain why young babies smile at the ceiling where is completely blank, or talk totally towards the air? If they don’t see something, why would they react in that way?

Vivian does the same thing. We often found her lying on her back in the bed and smiles at the empty ceiling. I looked, at the direction she faced…nothing is happening there. So we decided, if she loves looking at empty ceiling, why don’t we make the ceiling have something to look?

My husband says, how about your paper butterflies? Oh yes, those paper butterflies that I had cut before she was born….a very good idea! I was planing to make a butterfly mobile initially, but now they can wait.

So I cut more pretty butterflies with prettier paper this time and stuck them on the ceiling and wall, making it a flowing scene.

Now Vivian has something new to look. She absolutely loves them and is fascinated with them. She looks at them, greets to them, talks to them, smiles at them, sometimes even when she still had some tears hanging on the face after a cry.

They became good friends, Vivian and her butterflies.
