By Beleaf in Fatherhood
.
.
Now that I’ve been a father for just short of a decade, I’m learning so much about each of the stages of child development. With Theo, I was learning as I went, but with Uzi, I know what’s coming, and I am able to trust the process more. I’m able to sit back and enjoy the ride, watch my baby discover and learn new things without the same fear I had with Theo. I’m watching our youngest child begin to understand, as he becomes more conscious of his surroundings, and is forming a desire to learn, help, and participate the same way his older siblings are. Uzi is learning fast because he is able to imitate what his older siblings model in terms of behavior, and it has made this chapter much easier. When it comes to serving our family, Uzi’s desire, effort, and baby steps toward becoming an active participant in our family is his way of serving the household. I am confident that the desire will turn to habit, the effort will turn to success, and the baby steps will soon become leaps and bounds as he inches closer to toddler and moves away from baby. #BELEAFINFATHERHOOD

12:36
[Music]
12:37
bye uzi cool thing about washing the
12:39
kids feet is that their personalities
12:41
kind of pop out uzi is like
12:43
all of the children bald into one i mean
12:45
he’s in he’s developing so fast
12:47
a lot of people ask me like how does he
12:49
speak so fast and how is he so developed
12:51
and it’s because
12:52
he has older brothers and older sister
12:54
to basically mimic
12:56
after uh constantly and so he’s always
12:58
adopting
12:59
traits and habits and he’s very
13:01
talkative uh but yeah he
13:03
he had watched the process of the kids
13:06
getting their feet washed
13:08
and he was like yeah i know what i need
13:10
to do i’ll go get the chair like he was
13:12
ready
13:12
early you know what i mean and so um
13:16
he even got kind of upset because i
13:17
wasn’t like as fast as getting ready as
13:19
he
13:20
wanted me to what the chair
13:28
put it down
13:31
come on let’s go inside you wanna do it
13:34
inside
13:39
oh he’s upset why are you upset buddy
13:44
um you know the joy is really in the
13:46
experience and right now we’re
13:48
creating habits for him to get used to i
13:51
hope
13:51
hopefully i’m not spoiling my children
13:52
too much and making them super boozy
13:54
but i do feel like it’s important to
13:56
know for them to see the process of
13:58
washing feet
13:59
i hope in the coming years and in months
14:02
that i’ll be able to encourage them to
14:04
wash
14:04
each other’s feet um and one day when
14:07
they have children they’ll be able to
14:08
wash
14:09
their children’s feet and one day when
14:11
i’m older you know what i’m saying
14:12
they’ll be able to wash mine
14:14
i just think it’s a very humbling
14:16
important experience and i don’t think
14:17
you’re
14:19
ever too young to learn that that lesson
14:21
uh
14:22
and so one of the cool things that i got
14:24
was this right here from amazon i’ll
14:25
link this below
14:26
this is basically a pumice stone that is
14:29
has a motor on it so you turn it on
14:32
and you know what i’m saying like it
14:34
basically gets all the the little
14:36
calluses and all that stuff off your
14:37
feet
14:38
and basically it gets all the little
14:39
calluses stuff off your feet it has a
14:41
little light on there um it turns on
14:43
like
14:44
like that turns on like that
14:48
and uh yeah i got it right off amazon
14:50

14:52

14:58
serve your family you got them extra
15:00

15:03

15:07
a like sander
15:09
you know what i mean basically and they
15:10
have different course on there so that
15:12
you can
15:12
