MAMA!

At 20 months old I thought I was beginning to see Liam’s vocabulary expand. I swear a week ago he was saying all sorts of words that I now can’t remember.

But this week all I hear is MAMA! I hear MAMA in the morning, noon and night. Liam loves to say my name. While I love being a mom it is beginning to get tiresome that I am the only one he is calling. A lot of times he calls Evan MAMA as well just because he is always saying my name.

Tonight we were all playing together in the living room, including Butters begging me to play with one of her toys. And so I went to grab her toy from her mouth and instead banged my hand against her very sharp teeth. I didn’t break skin but definitely feel like I am now getting a bruise. I, of course, said OUCH! which brought a very concerned Liam over to find out what had happened.

"Mama? Mama?" My sweet little boy had come over with such concern on his face to see if I was ok and then gave me the nicest little hug because he saw that I was sad. (or mad at the dog) And then he grabbed my injured hand and kissed it. “Boo-boo, mama”

My heart melted. I am so in love with this kid.
