Please Call me Mommy

Last week, my little girl was picking me flowers in the back yard. I would take them from her when she offered them, say 'thank-you', and smell them. We had bouquets of dandelions on our kitchen table. Life was good.

This week, my little girl is calling me by my first name!! "Addie" this and "Addie" that.

They grow up so fast don't they?

Yesterday she said "Addie. Addie. Can you get my bawoon...please?" I was crushed! I looked at her and said "Call me Mommy, please". She grinned and said "Mommy, get bawoon?" That was much better. Then I heard, "Addie. Wa-Wa... Please?" and I responded frantically, "No, call me Mommy!! I'm your Mommy!".

I hope that my children never get too old to call me "Mom".

When I was around her age I started calling my parents by their first names. They didn't think too much of it other than that it was a funny phase. It lasted a really long time. Much longer than they expected. But I did grow out of it :)
