Mama? Dada?

I miss those words.

I remember when A stopped calling us "Mama" and "Dada". He went straight to Mom and Dad. Did not stop at Mommy or Daddy. I tried to get him to keep calling me Mama but it was a no-go. Sad day.

I call my mother "Ma", have for as long as I can remember, and she called her mother Ma too. John ribs me constantly about this. Impersonations sound something like a bleating goat.

J calls his mother "Mum" in the British style. Faaaaannnnncy! I just can't, I call her "Mom" and J calls my mother Mom too, not Ma.

I can't wait for our new little one to start calling out to us.

Mama?

Dada?

We're right here baby.
