Reading to baby
love |
Since 8 weeks old, Violet has been seriously paying attention to and enjoying her books; thank all of you who bought her one! We have enjoyed the literature, which has focused on things like the color of certain objects, the noises animals make, and counting. My baby knows fire trucks are red and that doggies say, “woof!” Awesome.
As far as literacy goes, we’re off to a good start indeed! Yet, my goal is to move her on to refereed scientific journals & existential philosophy by her second birthday…there’s nothing cuter than a toddler quoting Nietzsche!

you joke, but i know a three-year-old girl (whose middle name is literally “justice”) who knows more nietzsche and foucault than most college grads. she’s moving to new delhi this summer with her dad to do human rights advocacy. until then, she also frequents our public intellectual cocktail parties in the bend.

Wow, that poor child, she is in for a life of isolation!
