Well, my little wubba started muttering a very important word today! A word that I've been waiting a long time to hear, and let me tell you ... it is music to my ears! The word you ask? None other than "ma ma."
Just hearing him say it over and over again made some of today's tasks seem easier to take ... like picking up lots of little purple lollipop pieces off of my newly swept floor, trying to de-stain baby food off of my love's white shirt, wiping up baby throw-up off of a snowsuit and ME, and last but not least, cleaning smeared poop off of the toilet seat! Mind you, not all of the mentioned "tasks" were a result of my wubba (as he can't eat lollipops and he doesn't use the toilet yet).
It's all in a day's work, that is for sure! But, to hear those sweet words for the first time make me realize what a gift it truly is to be the mother of my 4 boys, and it makes me treasure each and every moment with them!
