He wakes up ahead of time just almost every day to poop. And today was one of those almost. I was irritated because it's the only day of the whole week that I am allowed to wake up late. He was already up around 6AM, I was still too sleepy but I can't start back to a deep sleep because there he was, screaming his heart out in front of me. My sleepiness did not get a chance on my screaming son, so I gave up.
I fed him a cereal for breakfast and tucked him for his morning snooze. I prepared pancake for my breaky since Dadi is not yet home. We pretty much do things together during weekends and its beginning to become a habit, which is good for us.
While he was sleeping, I fixed our lunch, Pork Nilaga. I had fun cooking it because for the first time I included corn and cardaba instead of gabi. It was again another success. Yay.
When Ayvan was up, I bath him and let him play. An hour later he needed his milk and wants to be carried so I did and he's surprisingly heavier ha.
He at present knows to pick his nose. I just hope he would not find a booger yet, or else he will curiously eat it. He was also having fun pulling my hair. Ugh.
Being a first time mom is overwhelming and I can't seem to track where the time went. I can't compare motherhood/parenting to anything. Every time that I am with my son, everything is a learning process. I learn something new every week from him.
What I've learned today? He taught me how to accept myself as a mother that I am and not what I think I should be. I definitely, 100 %, would love to spend a solid day with him every damn day, but because I'm working I can't. Yes, it's probably the toll of being a working Mom, but that doesn't make me less a parent than other mothers who stay at home. It's learning to let go of the things that I can't control.
So there, I hope to learn more soon.
How about you though? What does your child teach you about yourself? I would definitely want to know more, so if you can comment them it will be a huge help for a newbie Mom like me.
