Mommies and Daddies and Bananas - August 29,2008

My 14-month old son won't say mommy.

He says Daddy and Dada all day long every day but I am lucky if I hear Mama once a week. In fact, Mother's Day was when he learned to talk and his first word? Dada. Happy Mother's Day.

If I were to tell you that it's a bit frustrating that would be an understatement. Intellectually I understand why: physically the d sound is easier, mom is around all the time so why talk about her when you can talk to her, etc. And it does brighten my husband's long day at the office when I call him and put our son on the phone to scream his name in delight. Most days I don't even care because I am blessed to be the one who spends all this time with him. And he is a lot of fun.

But this morning he learned to say banana. What does that make me?

Not even second banana to daddy.

Where did I put that mojito from yesterday?
