My world stopped spinning for a minute. Mom? Who, me??? You mean, Mama??? MOM?! Already?!!?! He's two. How am I already mom??? It stuck around all day long! The occasional "Mama" would get thrown around here and there, but yesterday, I became mom. And Dustin? Well, he was "dad" upon arrival home from work. And that also stuck. He is also called "Dustin" on occasion. Like when it's time to eat. I guess I've yelled "DUSTIN!" down the stairs enough times that Lawson picked it up, cause that's been going on for about six months or so.
So, I'd like to introduce myself. I am "mom." It's a new title for me and one I'm still adjusting to. I was even reprimanded as such in public my first day on the job. I was touching the screen of a touchscreen computer I was looking at and he knows it is naughty to touch the screen at home. So, from the stroller seat, he proclaimed, Mom, no! Naughty!!!" The old man next to me seemed to get a kick out of it, but it was all kinds of strange for me! If I'm honest, it's a bit sad for me to be "mom" already. I thought that was reserved for parents of BIG kids. It seems we're headed that direction a little faster than I realized. Thankfully I still have one who, for the most part, refers to me as, "WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" So, I've still got some time to be "mama" for her.
But for Lawson, I am "Mom."
Mom
Mom
Mom
Mom

....it just sounds stranger each time......

I remember when that hit around our house, but what's funny is it didn't last. We eventually went back to being mommy and daddy. Were occasionaly Mom, & Dad still though. Cole for awhile was even "Babe" to our oldest which was a riot for her to yell "Babe" in public!
ReplyDeleteLMBO!! that's all i'm gonna say! totally had me busting up
ReplyDeleteI never really took a second to roll that word around in my head... crazy! "Mom" sounds kinda weird and I LOVE when Lawson scolds adults, or the baby for that matter. Someone's gotta keep us in line! And Chrystal, that is SO hilarious that your oldest called him babe!!!!! I guess that's what he was mostly referred to as. When I heard Lawson call daddy DUSTIN I just about fell out of my chair. He also says it when Kimberly's phone rings, cracks me up every time. Guess I better start watching what I call my husband.. boy I can just imagine some awkward moments, good thing that was brought to my attention now!
ReplyDeleteMy 4 year old just started calling me mom and my husband "dad". We're not used to it either!
