I used to hate babies... They're okay now- I guess?
A little insight on what type of person I am. I believe I have no motherly bone (just like my own mom). The idea of having a kid is ehh to me but I really used to dislike children in general of any age. I really didn't know how to react to interacting with them except just holding them. I try to treat children like basically little adults since I really don't know how to go about interacting with them. But lately, babies have grown onto me and I think they're kind of cute.. I, myself have never wanted kids but as I grow older I'm barely more open to the idea. But knowing myself, I just know I wouldn't make a good mother. Usually, babies ALWAYS stare at me and I used to just stare back or ignore them. Lately though, I try to make them laugh or smile which is so out of character for me.
Today, I went to do some X-mas shopping for my family at Nordstrom Rack and was waiting in line. I was zoned out for a bit and then turned back to realize there was a baby standing in the cart behind me. She just kept staring at me and I couldn't help but melt at her in a cute little teddy bear puffy jacket. I looked at her for a bit since she kept looking at me to see if she was looking because maybe me being there was making her upset LOL. But I just ended up smiling because she was so fucking adorable. She didn't react, then I waved. She started smiling so big and waved back and kept repeating my waving hand gesture I made. She kept doing the wave over and over while smiling at me. I didn't want to bring too much attention to myself so I did a few waves back before I faced forward to pay attention to any open registers. Maybe babies aren't so bad.. Sometimes I think they're an annoyance but man sometimes lately I just melt. Maybe this is character development LOL.
