Not a baby anymore


So.... Miss. Camea has an opinion. She likes this skirt. Even if it doesn't match, or even if she has already worn it 2 days in a row, she still wants to wear it. This cute top had little bloomers that still made her look like a baby, and was absolutely adorable. But she demanded to wear the skirt instead of the little pink shorts that "matched" it.

So... remember I said it made her look like a "baby". Well.... she has also informed us that SHE is not a baby and "THIS"(speaking of her doll) is a baby. And she is much bigger than the baby! Even though it is very cute to hear her say it, it is not as cute to realize it. I was listening to The FISH(our supposedly christian radio station, which I beg to differ, but that is a whole nother blog)and they were having parents call in to tell how special their kids were. But what really made me stop and listen is a lot of these parents were speaking of late teenagers or young adults. One mom said I cannot remember the day my son stopped calling me mommy..... but somewhere he did.... I immediately teared up, because I too cannot remember the day Kaleo stopped calling me mommy and I wish to remember when Camea does. When will I hear the last "mommy" come from her lips? Any comments? I would love to hear, if you have any stories of when your kids stopped calling you mommy.

And here's my big boy who doesn't call me MOMMY  anymore. But still gives me plenty of hugs, kisses and cuddles. I'll take all I can get because I'm sure that too will end eventually. :(

  1. Wow, I can't believe Camea TELLS you her opinion now! She has always had one, but for her to be old enough to state everything with words is just showing all of us that she is growing up so fast! I'm lucky because Brian still calls me Mommy :) And on top of that, his most common phrase is, "hey Mommy, I have a question" LOL he always is asking about random things! ;)As for the girls, usually its done as a loving term of endearment, mostly from Tori. We are in the stage of wondering how kids got taller than me! Tori is still tiny at like 5ft nothing, but Natalie is already passed me up by 2 inches! Somehow I don't think it will take Brian too long either :(
    I hope you get lots of "mommy" days to come still!!!
    Love you lots!
    Love, Leah

  3. aww..I got all teary eyed and I don't even have kids....

    But this blog made me realize that I don't call my mom, mommy anymore. :( even in spanish I don't. I have come to the realization that I still have so much to learn from her. We went to food4less yesterday, and I realized that I really don't know how to grocery shop. LOL, she was giving me hints here and there and was telling me that I need to learn. I will definitely make more of an effort and show her my love!

    Be encouraged that no matter if she doesn't call you mommy or thinks she's all grown up(like me), she will always learn from you, look up to you, and love you!!!

    I love you sooo much:)
