It's amazing watching Calvin take everything in - as his little eyes focus on new and different objects, I can't even imagine what it is like to experience all these things for the first time.
I find myself wondering what it will be like for him when he starts becoming more self-aware. My first thought was that he might be surprised not to have glasses - after all, the two big people he sees every day both have plastic lenses over their eyes, why shouldn't he?
But then it occurred to me that there's no reason he should necessarily identify with us - after all, we are many, many times larger than he is, and there's someone else here who's just his size.
So now I think he's going to be surprised when he doesn't turn out to be orange and furry.

I mean, are you sure he's not?
Hmmm... well, we have discussed the fact that, since Calvin is way more attractive than either of us, perhaps he gets his cuteness from Floyd. As such, maybe the orange furriness is on its way? We'll keep you posted....
