Patience

For me, patience is remembering to slow down and enjoy the moments of "waiting," which are just part of the experience.  Observing Juna learning used to be such a joy, but then something changed... waiting for her to get herself ready became annoying... because I always felt like I was in such a rush, so I have to remind myself to enjoy those incredible moments again and be amazed again at how she has taught herself how to dress, zip, button, etc. and be grateful that she is so independent.
