Many of you already know that I have a fifteen month old daughter. Of course, I have a lot of praises for her about how gorgeous she is and blah blah blah..after all, she is my daughter. So, I am not going to talk about how madly I like her.
As a child she is learning new things all the time. Every day, I am amazed how quickly she is learning so many things. However, you will be surprised how many things she has taught me, or I would say reminded me, or reinforced on me.
I tend to think we are all children no matter how old we are. We are always learning things and there are some things that we have never learnt or have learnt inadequately. My little daughter has made me realize some of those things. First and foremost she has taught me to be selfless. Yes, I have become less selfish after her arrival.
She has taught me to be more patient. As I interact with her more, my level of patience as naturally grown.
She has taught me to be more forgiving.
She has taught me to be more kind.
She has taught me to be more responsible. I no longer sleep all morning and stay all night just as an example.
Yes, children do require some work, but benefits far outweigh the cost. I hope I will be able to say the same when she is a teenager. :)
