I did not ever think I would or even could be as patient with anyone as I do with Charlie. Which is great because it definitely spreads to others in my life-- some of whom I can always use more patience for.
I'm constantly giving Charlie the benefit of a few seconds before I respond so I can remind myself "he's only 1. Do I really expect him to know what he's doing?" It helps me keep in perspective that if I don't like something I've got to teach him and lead by example.
I am part of the foundation for what his life will be based on so I've got to start by teaching him slowly and having infinite patience.
