Mama!!!

After months of not knowing how to say anything...
and months, upon months, upon months, of him calling me Dada...
he called me Mama!!!

Picking Eric up today, June 3rd, went as it always does. We walk into his room, he realizes we are there, drops whatever it is he is doing, his face lights up, a huge smile forms, and he comes running over, knocking over anything and anyone who is in his way. His arms are always opened wide as he yells Dada!!! (for both Daddy and me) Today was like all others, however, he came running with open arms yelling Mama!!! What a very special feeling that was! Our hugs are always huge and long when he comes running to us, however, today, they were just a wee bit longer! I now know how special your Daddy has been feeling when you call him Dada! Thank you Eric!!! "Mama" loves you!!!

Rich can sympathize with you. Christian called everyone Mama for the longest time and called rich Mama until he was about 22 months old. The weekend that I had foot surgery and he had to rely on Rich for everything, he finally called him Dada. Enjoy it :) Now I am just Mom.
