Mommy

(Impromptu tea party while cleaning up dinner. Life is too short to miss out on tea parties because of dishes!)

Last week my name changed. I went from Mama, to Mommy.
I hear my new name about 500 times a day. And I love it. She says it with such a tiny high voice that just gets me every time.
I was sewing while she was napping, I heard her wake up, and then I heard her binky hit the wall on its way to the floor. Then I heard Kate say, "Mommy? I drop Binky! Mommy? Mommy?" She said it so calm, and not very loud, almost like I was in the room. I thought it was funny, that she knew I was close enough to hear her, and that I would come if she just asked.
I love being a mommy to my Kate.
