The word "MOMMY"

I have been reading blogs and chatted on how worried mommies are when bb still doesn't call the magic word of 'MOMMY'.

We always tend to worry about why our bbs are not calling MOMMY and gets frustrated when they call other family members first and not mommy. When is my bb going to call me mommy? I was one of those worried and desperate mommies when Destinee didn't call me first. Every now and then, I would teach her by asking her to look at my lips and say ‘mom ..... my’ but she would stare at me with a blank face ….. sigh ….. But, finally came the day (I’ve forgotten when) when she uttered the word ‘Mommy’ and I was like ‘flying in the air’ and on cloud nine. She finally called MOMMY. Of course I was so happy and kept telling my frens dat Destinee finally called me Mommy!

But now, I sometimes prefer Destinee to stick on calling her pappy or kakak instead and stop calling me every now and then. Some of u must be thinking dat I must be out of my senses when I said dat – frustrated at not being called mommy and now want my gal to stop calling. Aiya, what kind of mommy am I?

Reason is dat I need a break from "mommy, mommy, play with me; mommy, mommy, come sing and dance with me; mommy, mommy, write with me; mommy, mommy, I want this or dat, mommy, mommy 'pau pau' (carry); mommy, mommy, feed me, I don't want kakak'; mommy, mommy, I want u to bathe me; mommy, mommy, I want to sleep with u ….. etc. and even when she wakes up every morning, she’ll be yelling for 'mommy, mommy', when I’m not beside her. Okay, everyone will start saying dat, those should be the work of a mommy, shouldn't it?

I am a FTWM and sometimes need to bring my work home to do. After a long and tiring day at work, sometimes I just would like to reach home, lie on the sofa, switch on the TV and relax, but this doesn't happen now. Once I reach home and when the door is opened, Destinee will come running and yelling 'mommy, mommy'. I'm sure everyone will say, dat is the most wonderful part, isn't it? I do agree too but dat doesn't end there cos she would be calling mommy every now and then the whole nite – when I am having dinner, watching TV, doing my work, having a relaxed time doing 'business' in the toilet and yes sometimes even in her sleep! When we are in the shopping mall, if she doesn't see me around (when she's with her pappy or kakak), she will be yelling for mommy too. 'Ah meh oi' (gosh), does she really miss me dat much?

I have this 'mommy, mommy' thingy ringing in my mind even when she's not calling me. Eeeeee …..

So, mommies out there who have yet to hear ur bb call u mommy, just be a little patient, there will come a day when u will feel on top of the world when they start calling u.

And beware, oso 'down' of the world (get what I mean?).
