Mom

Of course Sweet Baby Girl is still calling me Amy and not Momma like she used to. Its ok I am over it. Well sort of. The other day I was joking with one of the 5 year old daycare girls. I told her that maybe if all the kids called me Mom then Sweet Baby Girl would. This little 5 year old is very bright so she knew and understood I wasn't seriously saying she needed to do that.

So anyways, I noticed this week when The Dancer leaves for school now she says "Good bye Mom." I know she is partly doing it so that Sweet Baby Girl will learn again to call me Momma but I think there was part of her that was ready to call me Mom. I have never told her she had to call me Mom and I've never said she couldn't. I did have to awhile back tell her not to call me Mam. That I just don't go by. Its just a great feeling when you're called Momma or Mom for the first time.

I was sitting here thinking about one of the first times I was with Hubby and his girls. This was not long after I met the girls. Rose was just a bit over a year old and The Dancer had just turned 3. Wow did she have an attitude. I am sure somehow at 3 years old she knew who I was. She knew I was that girl that Daddy liked. Hubby didn't have alot of furniture in his house either when I met him. He had this really gross chair. The Dancer always called it her chair. Oh did she get mad if I sat in it. Why would anyone want to? It was seriously gross. Trust me when I moved it that chair was history. There was one night I said to her "Please go get your pj's and I will help you put them on". Well she was not listening to me. Hubby told her a few times and I told her again. Well finally I said "You really need to listen." Oh she did not like that and in her room she went and she tried to slam the door shut. Well she didn't have a normal door. In the old house it was a sliding door. But she tried so hard to slam that door and tell me she didn't have to listen to me. I am so greatful we are done trying to slam doors and she is calling me Mom!
