LAILA ALI CREDITS BECOMING A MOMMY FOR MAKING HER A LITTLE BIT MORE PATIENT!
Posted by Adam
LAILA Ali says motherhood has made her become “more patient”.
The former Dancing With the Stars contestant and American Gladiator — who raises 2-year-old son Curtis Jr. with husband Curtis Conway — insists she no longer worries about the small things.
“I have definitely become more patient in general and I tend not to sweat the small stuff,” she said. “It’s all about him now!
“Curtis is very funny. He likes to imitate people laughing and when he does it just cracks me up. He will also go up to our 110 pound dogs and push them with his hands and say ‘push’. Of course the dogs don’t budge and look at him like he is crazy. Very funny!”
Ali — whose father is boxing legend Muhammad Ali — recently revealed she and Conway are expecting their second child together.
“I am pregnant again! I’m three months, and I’m so excited, my family is excited,” she told People magazine. “I’m hoping it’s a girl this time!
“My dad is an excellent grandfather.
“He loves kids. He loves to kiss them to death.
“I’ve noticed I’m putting on weight faster this time, I started showing sooner.
“Staying fit is a challenge, even if you are a former world-class athlete such as myself, because you just don’t have the energy that you used to have. Also, I have to hold myself back because I want to work harder than I’m able to.
“Pregnancy isn’t ‘I can eat whatever I want,’ because you have to remember you’re going to be stuck with a lot of that weight afterwards that you need to try to get off. So I don’t recommend ‘grubbing’.”
“I have cravings all the time, even when I’m not pregnant.
“I made a strawberry shortcake last night. It was great.”
