Book Entry 125: 1978 Which End is Up?

When Adam was two he had to fight for his position in the kid chain of the family.  Both girls were very generous to him, both watched out for his safety, and both teased him mercilessly.

Adam was very good with his building blocks.  He would build things in any room of the house.  If he’d see two blocks lying on the floor he couldn’t pass them without putting one on top the other.

Adam already had a love for the animals on our ranch.  He loved going with Larry at feeding time.  He loved putting his fingers in the calves’ mouths and letting them suck.

The only problem he ever had was with one of our kittens.  For some reason as soon as Adam would pick it up it would twist and turn and end up bottom side up.  Adam didn’t seem to care and the kitten seemed happy so after many attempts to upright the kitten we just let it go.

I felt bad a couple years later when Adam’s allergies got bad and he could no longer play with his little furry friend.
