I’ll be honest…there was a time when I was truly desperate to hear the words “Ma-Ma” spring from my baby’s lips…. I waited and watched and listened so that I would miss that little bit of magic as it happened.
But now….that beautiful word, Mommy has been transformed into something else.
I often hear it like this, “Moooooooooooommmmmmyyyyyy”. Delaney bellows it out whenever she can’t actually SEE me…as though I may have left the vicinity. Or..most recently and most disturbing…is my four year old’s tendancy to call me “Mom”. How did that happen? When did I become “Mom” and not “Mommy”.
Just for fun…I’m going to count how many times they bellow, yell, scream or demand my attention today.
I need to know if my name is being worn out. 🙂
