Because of peculiarities in my own family members, I've given a lot of thought to the subtle differences between patience, tolerance, and just not being annoyed by things.
I'd say patience is being willing and able to let things take time without getting agitated, while being tolerant is not getting upset by things you find irritating.
I'm curious which of these he exhibits.

Patient more than tolerant. But he is quite tolerant as well. Now that he is a teen his level of tolerance seems to have dropped a bit but he is still quite tolerant for the most part.

I'm fairly patient, but my dad is incredibly patient.
