mommy...

The day she called me "mommy"...

Today the sweetest sound came from my girl's mouth...She said "mommy" I've been "momma" since she started talking...but today I became mommy. There's something different being called mommy than being called momma. It's like I've made into true mommy-hood or something...

My girl was a bit sad this morning, I was running around getting ready and she just wanted to be held and snuggled. I asked if she wanted to sit on mommies bed...her little face lit up and she said ya...She sat there while I got ready, we chatted, she ate her Nutragrain bar and sipped her milky...I walked out of the room and I heard it..."mommy" I looked back and she got the biggest smile on her little face...she knew what she said, she knew how it would make me feel...

I've been a momma for almost two years now.

It's something I'm so thankful for and I apprecitate everyday. Every minute. Every second.

Being mommy means she's maturing, we're maturing.

I'm doing right by her.

I know when she's older I'll become "mom" in that annoyed teenage tone...

But when it's just us...

I'll always be mommy.

And I'll always go back to the day when she called me mommy...
