存在
Existence

A baby's existence for the first three months is a one-way street. One person is doing all the work and the other is crying, sleeping and pooping. So the first moment when you're actually able to do something and they acknowledge your presence, that's a big deal. A very big deal.
婴儿出生后的头三个月是单行道。一个人在做所有的工作,另一个人在哭,睡觉,拉屎。所以当你真正有能力做某件事的时候,他们承认你的存在,这是一件大事。非常重要。
