"Mama"

She said it! My little precious child who is such a blessing in Tad and my life has said those magical words every mommy likes to hear "momma" well it sounded more like ummma, but she said it. To make it perfect on mothers day I was sitting in the chair in the living room and Tad was across the room. Maddie got upset about something and started whining and crawling toward me with all her might. As I was watching her crawl toward me and our eyes met she looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes she gets from her daddy and says ummammma (it meant mama) Tad's head whipped around and all I heard was that is soooo not fair! Ever since then all he has been saying is da da da da. He will call from work and tell me to put the phone to her just to say this to her. All she does it smile because she knows it is him and starts to babble. It actually amuses me. He is away for some training in Kentucky until the 22ND of June and every chance he gets he calls to try and get her to say it. He informed me that I need to work on her and teach her how to say it like I taught her to say mama. I then told him that was not a good idea that he needed to do it because then she might start calling me daddy. I am happy that she said it and it made it even better that she said it on mothers day. It also saddened me. It seems like only yesterday that I gave birth to her or even pregnant. It is so true how time flys when you have kids. Am I wrong to just want her to stay little forever so I never have to let her go? She is already going to be one in two months. I am going to be one of those mom's who bawls her eyes out when she goes to her first day of preschool. I know I am pathetic.
