"say.. Momma"

Lately I have been saying words for Nicolas to repeat. It usually goes something like this..

Me: "Nicolas, can you say..?"
Nicolas: (jumble of sounds that sometimes come out sounding like what I want him to say)

My favorite of course is when I ask him to say Momma.

I love his little voice. I cannot even explain how cute he sounds!

I need to record him saying it, very clearly, so I never forget what it sounds like.

It's one of his very common words, because he says it all the time. That's not good enough for me, I still ask him to repeat it all throughout the day.

I never want to get tired of hearing him say it. That's my name to him. That's who I am to him. It's an important title and I wear it with pride.

I'm not exaggerating either, if you were to hear him say it, your heart would melt, INSTANTLY! Mine does!

So when I saw this comic strip, I quietly promised myself that I would NEVER get to this point.

Although I find this clip cute, I don't want to be the mom that just ignores the many calls.

I understand that they will multiply as the years go by and I may be in the middle of doing something, but Nicolas, I will always, always, ALWAYS answer you when you say "MOMMA."
