Determination

I sat down for about half an hour working on my business presentation and marketing while my daughters were laying down sleeping. They have been sleeping for a while, about 2 hours after they ate, and as soon as I finished working on the presentation and marketing they woke up. My babies for one reason or another, they do not cry when they wake up even when they are hungry. Both of them stayed there for a good 30 minutes talking (if I may say considering they are 5 months) who knows what. Then one of them, Dalitso, started moving on her stomach trying to reach for a bottle of milk that was in front of her. She was so determined that she moved quite a distance until I brought the bottle to her.
Looking at her determined to get to that bottle made, me realise of the shortfalls that I face sometimes in doing things that I do. Especially when I know that it needs to be done. It also gives me the determination to raise my children without the fear of stereotype that I hear most of the time. There are so many steroetype about men raising children and changing diapers. My determination is not to prove anyone wrong that a male can do it, but because I have to do this because it is my responsibility. Taking responsibility is the key, not an obligation.
