I've been mom'd!
Ever since Carter started talking, I've been "mama". I knew this cuteness would fade into the inevitable "Mom" and "Dad" (my parents tried very hard to get me to call my dad Papa to no avail), but I expected that he probably wouldn't make the transition until he was closer to school age. But all day today, he's been calling me "Mom". (Thomas is still Dada.) Actually, it is kind of cuter since he is so little, and I really don't mind. But I thought it was worth recording.
Update: Today, he's not just saying "Mom" -- he's saying it gratuitously--like he's so proud he figured it out!

cute! i can totally see myself wishing for "mama" to remain my moniker too.
I wonder what drives it... My mom was 'mommy' until she was 'mom', but I noticed recently that I've started calling her 'mama'. I have no recollection of ever calling her 'mama' earlier in life, and I have no idea why I've started now. But fortunately, she doesn't seem to mind. :-)
can we get a video of this??? come on, you know we all are dying for more Carter cuteness is technicolor!
Oh that is sooo sweet! That kid, I tell ya, is as precious as they come! ash
Uh oh, he is growing up! Thanks for the wonderful artwork! It is in my office at home to liven up things! Why is Thomas in Mexico? GrannyB
