MOM! This has officially become my new favorite word. Noah is starting to verbalize little words including mom and dad, of course we are estatic. For 26 years I have been "Candice", my mom has always had little pet names for me but in general everyone just calls me Candice. I love that my little guy has a special name for me that only he can use, to him I will never be Candice but instead I will always be his mom. I then started thinking about how I (being an only child) am also the only one that can call my mother mom. It's amazing how one little word can have such power. Motherhood with it's many many challenges is the best blessing I have ever received!
It makes my heart happy when I hear my adult kids say "mom" and my new daughter-in-law choose to call me "mom" instead of Debbie. You make me smile remembering the joy of hearing of little voices excitedly saying, "Mom! Mom!"
ReplyDeleteCandice, always cherish these simple but meaningful memories and remember them as your son grows and gets older. There is nothing like a mothers love to her children.
