Babies
A Blank Slate, A Brand New Little Person

Owner Comments:

The last coin in the 2013 Canadian Royal Infant Set is entitled A Hopeful Future and this is one of the main things a new baby represents......the future. Each new baby is a brand new person, one full of unlimited potential. Babies really are the best humans....they are blank slates and they can learn so much just through observation, which is a skill that diminishes as we get older. Babies love everyone, they haven't learned some of the nastier human behaviors that lead to hate, ignorance, superstition and violence, and there is the chance that this new person will never embrace such things. Babies feel no need to hide their emotions, and they let you know exactly how they feel to the best of their ability. A smile from an adult can easily be fake but a big, sunny smile from an infant is always genuine and it can warm one's heart on even the worst day. Babies really are the future and a chance that these new little people will grow up and do better than those who came before did.
