It's been 6 days since the day I quit my job andI've been taking full care of my child...I have to admit I’m exhausted...I am tired sleepy hungry and sore. I went back to work after I had Jr...He was only 6 months old and I guess I lost track of how much he is grown since then. He has changed so much, time went so fast. I remember like it was yesterday that I got pregnant ( By the way, I loved to be pregnant... I loved my belly and and I even felt the most beautiful pregnant woman in the world....I did) I even remember the first time we got home with this cute little baby and we would stare at him for hours not even knowing what to do or to expect... I never thought he would be this cute and I can't even express the love I feel for him. Today he wants to be a big boy... He doesn't need so much help doing things... He doesn't talk that much yet (He only says mama, papa, ma(which he calls my mom) and emo(which is Elmo) ahi esta and no) but still will let you know exactly what he wants. Now that he is 16 months I've started to notice how much he is like Edgar and me. He is kind of grumpy sometimes...and gets frustrated easily when he can't do or get something he wants...Jr likes things his way or he wont like it...Just like me!
And he is so sweet and silly just like his daddy. He is really fast to learn and quickly picks up what you are telling him. Now, he wants us to play with him all the time and even chooses the song he wants me to sing when he is going to sleep (He likes "Los 3 Cochinitos" de Cri-cri 'El Grillito Cantor') He lets me know when he wants me to change his diapers...He doesn't like to wear soggy diapers, he demands to be changed immediately and loves wearing cologne ( he wears the Kung Fu Panda Cologne). Lately he is obsessed with Elmo... the doll, the books, balloons, posters and the song but he doesn't like to watch the whole cartoon. He likes to scream 'gooooool' when daddy is watching soccer but still doesn't get he is not suppose to scream when the opponents score... He loves dancing, he really enjoys that part of church...Music, specially since he found out his daddy plays the drums, so now I have a hard time trying to keep him in his seat because he wants to run to the altar with daddy to play the drums. He loves cookies...pretty much any kind of cookie. Jr loves taking showers and playing with water he gets exited doing things just like us. He amazes me every single day and some days I learn even more from him than he learns from me. Babies are little persons with feeling and goals, with good days and bad days, with smiles and tears, with accomplishments and frustrations... But one thing I've learned from him is that no matter how many times he tries to do something and fails, even thought he might cry and get frustrated, he keeps trying until he gets what he wants. My child is teaching me how to be a mommy, how to be his friend when he wants to play, or when he feels down, even how to be a better daughter and how to be a better person… How to be exited about the little things in life because there are many little things in life that are not so little and we take for granted. How to be thankful, how to forget about the things that are not worth remembering, how to forgive, how to smile when things don’t go as planned and mostly how to love just to love and not expecting anything back. No wonder the Bible says we should be like children… I see my kid smile and my heart melts for him. I imagine how God sees His children and hopes we are more like little kids, how He wants good things for us and how much He loves to see us happy. To me my child is a little window of God’s amazing love. I don’t deserve all the good things that I have, and I’m not always thankful for what I have and even though I’m not perfect He still loves me for what I am and for all the good things He sees I can be. I don’t deserve this little cute gift God sent me but I got my baby and Jr in a way has taught me a lot more about God and how amazing He is and His love and mercy are!
