For seven months now I’ve been quietly whispering the word “mama” into her ear, determined to hear those little syllables first from her mouth. (E’s first word was “hippo” – so no one wanted to claim that one!) But no matter how I tried to sway her to the other side, her first word is decidedly in his camp.
Regardless of how you say it, I hope you had a chance to tell those that you hold dear that you loved them yesterday.
and with those little words, I am wrapped around her finger…
