Sooz, The Spoon Theory is the perfect item to give your friends and family who just don't get it. Ten years ago I came down with a rare autoimmune disease, Dermatomyositis, that left me a shadow of the woman I was for many years. It is very hard to explain to a healthy person when you have reached your limit. For those of us with chronic health problems that limit varies from day to day and often from hour to hour. Some of my grandchildren were still in the diaper stage when I first got sick. I was unable to even pick them up for a long time. Some babies are so curious about the world in general that they don't want to settle for looking at one person or thing for more than a minute or two. In a year or two she will be showing you the world.
