focusing and tracking

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Well, "First Grandaughter" may have had a wobbly start with her eyes (I was briefly concerned that she could see at all through one eye that was bloody from birth) but she's come a long way already. She tracks things with her eyes, clearly focuses on things as they move closer, and is attracted to motion.

In fact, tonight she seemed to be studying my face as I held her.

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
