Mama, child and baby
Apr. 11th, 2006 06:19 pmMummy arrived on Sunday evening; it's been quite nice so far, the only thing she's been nagging me about (quite rightly) is to stand up straight.
I've discovered that the past too months I've mellowed out considerably and don't take everything she says as a criticism, it seems that being in charge of another person puts things into perspective.
I've actually discussed some of the changes I've gone through, since I've been in the US.
Being the ego-centric, self-centered, baby I am I asked Mummy to tell me what she noticed was different about me.
That I'm a lot less hyper-sensitive (yay, a goal somewhat accomplished).
That I'm a lot less defensive (it's true, I hardly go "No, I'm not/I didn't!" anymore).
That I'm more critical of myself (which is better than total oblivion to ones own pros and cons).
It also feels good to be able to show Mummy that I've accomplished something I didn't think I could do, such as handle a baby (Libby is very easy, but anyway) and that not all the decisions I make are about her (as in Mummy).
She said she's like to have my a hair a little bit longer, like five cm.
I told her I was keeping it short like it is for a while, this is not a one time thing, but a style that I'm currently identifying with.
I have matured!
I have improved!
I have evolved!
Yay Me!
