What's In A Name?

Since the triplets really started talking, they referred to me as Mommy. I love that name. Cute. Sweet. And it reminds me that they are little boys that are depending on me for so much.

Well, a couple months back Isaac started experimenting with calling me Mom instead. "Ahhhh! He's too young for that," I thought. To me that means he is wanting to assert his independence and break away from "the little boy".

Well, it turned out just to be a phase. Whew. But now he has taken to calling me Momma. Where did he get that? He must have been watching some old shows on TV. Or spending lots of time around an older generation.

It is funny how we can associate names with so much. Who knows what he'll come up with over time. I do know that I will always love "the Mommy years".
