I Planted An Avocado

This is my avocado plant. It took a month to germinate and sprout which obviously took patience. I thought it would just keep growing with leaps and bounds but it has slowed down so I am back to having patience. I re-potted it thinking that it would grow faster but with no luck. I guess it will grow into a tree in its own time.
It reminds me of a child. Children take lots of patience.
