MAMA!

This mama's proud!!
May I never forget...
I was fixing your supper...you were waiting in your high chair and, as is your nature, you were doing your "whiny cry." Not a full fledged tantrum, but you were hungry and I was hurrying. Like I usually do, I'd pulled your chair to the kitchen doorway so you could watch me warm your food. On the menu: mango banana, sweet potatoes, and pasta primavera (with a bottle, of course). You were babbling, fussing, and waiting as patiently as you could. And then I heard it--clear as day--"Mama." I was so caught up in what I was doing that for a few seconds it rolled right through me, and then I realized what I'd heard. I stuck my head in the doorway and asked you, "What did you say?" You grinned--still hungry and impatient. Then you fussed again and bubbled it out once more--"ma ma ma mama."
At first, you would only say it when you were fussing. I fed you supper and you didn't say it any more, until I went to wash your face. You got angry with me for wiping you down and then it came again..."ma ma ma mama."
You little turkey.
All night long tonight you've practiced your new word and made mommy's heart (and head) swell with pride. I caught this tape of you "talking" to daddy right before bedtime. I've been called many things in my 23 years--Jenni, Miss Jenn, daughter, GiGi...but, sweet girl, none compare to tonight when you truly made me yours.
I love you, my Natalee Cynthia...
Always & forever,
Mama
