Its surprising how having your own child changes you. From a zero tolerant person to someone with the utmost patience.
I am not a patient person. My tolerance level is super low. Lower than most people. I cant stand kids wailing their butts off in public or testing the power of their lungs by shrieking away demanding their parents' attention. I simply cant stand such behaviour.
But having a child changes you, i guess. When Naufal whimpers to steal my attention, a slight delay & he'll just screams away. He'll scream when I take a long time to prepare his milk formula, or when i'm changing his diapers or he'll just simply wails out loud when he wants to be carried. Instead of losing it like i always do, i actually try to soothe him with all the patience i could gather. Being a hot tempered person by nature, trust me, this was no easy feat. Especially when this happens during the wee hours of the morning & his daddy is away at work on night shift. Its just another attempt to test my limits. But surprise, surprise, I have not lost it.
Naufal does bring out the best traits in me. Traits which I never knew existed in me.
I love my Naufal. And nothing ever beats a mother's love.
