Children are so innocent, and with their innocence comes beauty, genuine love, and sometimes brutal honesty.
Has a child ever come to you and asked you a question that made you uncomfortable? like how come you guys have a baby, but you’re not married, or that time your little cousin asked your aunt who can’t have kids, how come all of your sister have children but you?, and all you can do is give their parent that eye, like come get your kid!
Well clearly that kid isn’t Alani, because she isn’t talking yet, but I did have a semi-embarrassed moment recently. As some of you may know Alani takes swimming lessons. Recently her class got a new instructor, and for some reason Alani just wasn’t feeling her. I’m not sure if it’s because she was new, and Alani didn’t know her, but when the instructor went to do a one on one lesson with her Alani screamed so loud, and even went as far as to hit her. Oh my goodness I felt so bad and all I could do was apologize. I swear everyone was staring, I was quite embarrassed. As the weeks have been going by she’s been warming up to her, so pray for me.
Before having Alani, I used to care about what people had to say, or what they thought about me, but now none of that matters to me (thank you Alani for teaching me all that matters is what I think of myself)
Usually i’m not embarrassed at anything Alani does, because for crying out loud, she’s a baby, and is still learning. I used to be that person in a restaurant giving the couple with their baby who won’t stop crying the side eye. It funny how life works out, because now Sekou and I are that couple. Although Alani is usually good when we’re out, she does sometimes have those outburst, and Sekou is giving me the eye, like it’s time to go, and i’m giving him the eye back like no, she’s fine and I don’t care if everyone is looking. Sorry to all the people we’ve annoyed.
To some it all up, children are the innocent little people who don’t have much experience, so they will just say and do anything, and as parents we can be embarrassed, but all we can do is learn from these experiences, and teach them going forward.
Happy Sunday!
Thank you and so is Alani!!!! 😊
Lol, oh the train, I could only imagine.
Found this so funny lol! I used to be that person who worried when Aiden would scream his lungs out on the train (crowded at that) but I stopped caring once I got used to motherhood lol
Haha! I love when you can make light out of a situation. I’m that mom now that smiles at other moms when their kids are giving them a hard time, or when they look embarrassed by something their child did. By the way Kaylen is too cute!!!
Lol! He is amazing with his handsome self. I’m so happy that he’s enjoying swimming!
Exactly Glamma
Kaylen has this awful random scream. She does it just to do it and then she laughs/ smiles. If words were attached to it they would be, “I command you to stop and look at me” lol. We where at the airport about two weeks ago and she did it as we were waiting to board our flight. All I could do was laugh (it was an omg this is embarrassing laugh) because everyone looked at us. I know I should be use to it, but she’s normally quiet and observant in public. Surprisingly they all smiled and talked about how precious she was. I felt a little less embarrassed after that. A few days later, my mom, dad, brother, and sis in law went out to eat. Kaylen did that random scream again and again and again. This time when I laughed, it was at my brother because he was the embarrassed one and I was familiar with the feeling lol.
Omg me and Alsemia were just talking about this, before Santana we were that couple looking at the next couple with the crying kid like “shut that kid up” now we’re like “nobody better not say anything about Santana, he’s amazing” lmao!!!! But honestly you do live and learn and all children are innocent and most importantly expressive in their own little ways.
P.S. SANTANA IS DOING GREAT IN SWIMMING!!! Thanks again for the recommendation 😊
It’s funny how adults that find crying babies annoying expect the parent to do something IMMEDIATELY to alleviate their unrest. Really???
I think the main concern should be alleviating the baby’s unrest.
