My daughter is only 6 months old and she's already having tantrums. Many of them. For no reason. When I sit her in the play pen. When I put her in the stroller. When I lean her back a little for her bottle feeding. You know that moment, when you are dressing them and you are putting their arms through the sleeve, that moment she hates. She throws a fit. Is there any reason to feel this could be a game changer? Can I be raising an impertinent child who has tantrums just to test me? Maybe I'm putting too much into this. But, I can't help but wonder...
Here she is right at the beginning of a tantrum wave. I just happened to be using the phone. If you've been reading this blog, you know by now that Emilu has been a high needs baby since her newborn days. Maybe it's time for me to surrender, and stop over-analyzing her moods. I shall have to embrace that my daughter is special. In her own little world, I'm special too. It's the reason why she's so honest and open about her feelings. She wants me to accept that.
And I'm slowly learning . I'm discovering her intensity, her resolute ways. And one day she'll discover mine.. We are beginning to understand each other, hear each other out. This is the beginning of a lifelong dialogue. This is ground zero for us both.
I'm learning that every baby is different and special in their own way. God will give you what you need to be a Mommy to her, he chose you and he will equip you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for such sweet lines. And for stopping by it makes my day to hear from other moms!
ReplyDeleteAww..this post totally melts my heart. Im not a mommy yet but those photos of your cutie make me want to have one right now:) I think that every day is a learning process, isnt it? Each day the bond is getting stronger and stonger. Wish you both a lovely day. xo
ReplyDeleteEvery month a new adventure.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly is cute, even with a stubborn face! Maybe the stubborness will translate into a fabulous career one day!
ReplyDelete@Diana, that's true my learning curve is expanding and quickly. @Rebecca, haha i certainly hope so!!
ReplyDeleteI, too, had a very tough baby with my first child. She wouldn't sleep. I put a lot of miles on my car just getting her to nap! This went on for a couple of years! She is now 22 years old and the sweetest, most eager-to-please young lady. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteThis is great to know! I met a lady at work once and she told me the same thing. Her daughter has attached to her all the time, and slept not that well, and she turned out to be a great person, and very independent, too. (I'm praying)
