Welcome!

Hi!

I am Tom's Mom. I am the mother of a four-month-old boy who tries to keep track of his development and tries to create memories, for later days.

I am also working on my brainchild, a dissertation in the literary field. It's about omissions that occur in literary translations and the effect they create. It's about missing memories and missing meaning.

I want to keep track on both Tom's development and my progress, which I find to be an interesting crossover.

Example: Yesterday Tom statred to roll over, sit on his own for a few moments, and to push himself into a standing position, all in one day; I manage to interpret a few pages of the novel I am working on.

Today, Tom explores sounds, I read 10 pages about trauma and forceful forgetting, understood the difference between memoire voluntaire and memory involuntaire. And I start this blog, which I have wanted to do for a looooooooong time.

More tomorrow,

Tom's Mom

hmmmm

I tried to send myself another commentary but was denied doing it because it was containing "boese Worte", bad words. Did it? I am sorry, I wasn't aware of that. What bad language did I use?
I just wanted to tell that Tom and I went to church yesterday because it was Easter Sunday and because of the little crying room they have he loved every minute of it. And the music. That was nice.
Did I use any bad words again? I hope not.
Tom's Mom
