It was an immeasurable thrill when Hedgehog first called me Momma. With so many delays in speech and challenges communicating it was thrill for him and for me.
Quite frankly, I also just liked Momma. I think it suits me. It has worked. It is us.
Until sometime in the past few weeks, when MOMMEE started appearing. A few slips, whatever. Still his Momma.
This past week it has been almost exclusively Mommee.
Ok.
While cuddling in bed this morning as we both struggled to wake up on a cold wintry day, I looked at my little Hedgehog and asked:
"Am I your Momma, or your Mommee?"
"MMMMOOOOOOMMMMMEEEEEE."
Well ok then. Guess that settles it and I will start the new year with a new name.
