Last night in the middle of the night Lily woke up and was crying but for the first time she was saying "Mama." I loved hearing her get my name even though it seems that babies say "Mama" only when they are sad and "Dada" when they are happy. However I am wishing that the rest of my children could just forget how to summon me periodically throughout the day.-Like when I am in the bathroom or on the phone or into various other projects or at 3 in the morning. Lately that has been one of the most challenging things keeping up with everyone's demands for "MOM" "I'm Hungry" "I need help" "I'm Thirsty" and my all time favorite "Wipe my bum".
Stay at home mom to 8 kids.
