"Mommy"

This is my big boy. My big "little" boy. He is also the last of my boys who calls me "mommy". Is there any sweeter sound than your offspring calling you mommy? I think not. I'm enjoying this year with him because I know {I've seen it happen twice before} that sometime within the next year, he will become a real boy. A real. big. boy. First grade and turning 6 does that to boys. All of a sudden the baby fat is gone, the little lispy way of talking is gone, their head shape is now longer, therefore not round and so Charlie Brownish.

So here I am loving the sound of "mommy, mommy, mommy." Don't you just love those words?
