Arielle smiles now when she has not seen us in what seems to her as awhile. It could have been all night or as little as an hour but when she hear our voice again she offers us a smile. I have no idea what the voice tells her or if she even has an inner voice at this age. I would say that she has a feeling and is able to respond to the feelings she has toward us.
This allowing herself to feel happy must be some form of inner voice. It must guide her and the happiness must be some sort of tool that she uses to know when it is time to communicate that she is not happy. Like when she is hungry or bored. It is as though it is natural to follow our feelings to survive, or should I say follow our happiness. At this time of life following it doesn't seem so irresponsible.
As adults, following our happiness would be completely irresponsible, or so we believe for now. I will follow this line of thought as Arielle grows more and I will observe the responsibilty of allowing happiness as time goes on. There will be choices to be made and directions to follow and I will see how following our feelings works out for her.
I will say for now that the only thing that I see that would undermind this trian of thought would be when her ego creates a feeling that holds an illusion that blinds her from the truth.
This will be a first part of learning the foundations for Arielle.
