*Sigh*...It's happened. Matthew informed me a few days ago that he was no longer going to be calling me "mommy". He offered no real explanation, just that he liked it better. I managed to get him to admit that he felt that he was to old (he just turned 9) to still be calling his mom "mommy". At the time I thought he was so cute. The way he decided to inform me about it. As if I needed to be forewarned of the new change. It's so Matthew. Well thought out and organized. But as time has passed and I've noticed a seamless change to him now calling me "mom", I miss it! I miss hearing him say "mommy". He DOES seem so much older now.
I was blessed at a young age to be Matthew's mommy. He is the reason I am who I am today. I changed my life for him. To be a good mommy. To live my life for someone else besides myself for a change. I loved being Mathew's "mommy".
*Bigger Sigh*...So now I'm his "mom". That's not a bad thing in anyway. It is actually a great thing. That means he's growing and healthy. That means that now he wants to be older and more grown up. But for me it is a milestone worth noting. Though I miss hearing "mommy" coming from my oldest boy I have 3 younger children who say "mommy" about 500 times a day so it's not gone quite yet...there have been times when I wanted to ban the word "mommy" half way through the day. If I heard it one more time I would pop! Now I can listen, breath and appreciate my younger childrens' use of the precious name of "Mommy" that I get to be called. I appreciate it more.
