Mama!

There are a few parts of my day with Little Boy that I love. One of those times is around 4:40 when I pick him up from daycare. He is generally waiting behind the safety gate, wildly impatient, anxious for a hug from Mommy. Today was no different except that he shouted, "Mama!" when I walked in. Sure, he's been saying mama for a while now and he knows that is my name, but he's never said it at pick up time and after a crazy first week back with students, LB's word was the most beautiful thing I've heard all week!
