These words are stuck on my tongue. I'm stuck on loop. I keep tripping over these words. Tripping up on these words:
Unpredictable. Demanding.
I use them to describe my son.
It's not very nice of me.
And then there I am, in the shower, alone. For the first time in months. Maybe longer. And I realize that this baby, this boy, is JUST.LIKE.ME. My daughter (now three) was a dream. Easy, fun, soft. Now these harsh words I have for my son – unpredictable, demanding – they are so me. He is just a little mirror. He is high need. His need is high for me. He wants to be looked at, paid attention to. Can you blame him? Can you blame me?
But unpredictable can be beautiful.
And demanding can be brazen but true.
What words describe you right now, today?
