I've been "Bah" for so long I am starting to forget any word a child may use for Mother. I had to stop myself at work this week from referring to myself as "Bah". His lovie is a blanket with a puppy head. We've called the blanket "puppy" from the day we got it. He's heard "mommy" a hell of a lot longer than he has "puppy" but guess which word he used first? Hell my mom gets "Amah" before I get "Mommy".
I came downstairs this morning. Little Man was sitting on daddy's lap with a puzzle. I expected the usual excited "BAH!". I didn't get it. I got, clear as day: "MOMMY!"
And I have a witness child!
