Mother's Day

After months of putting on a brave face while BB chants "papa! papa! papa!" with all his heart... my day has finally come.
My patience has been rewarded.

A sweet, simple word that brings tears to my eyes.

Food for the soul. Confirmation that it's all been worth it.

One sunny morning, out of the blue, he turns to me and smiles, utters the little word as though he's said it a thousand times before.

"Maman!"

Lucky you !! Even more if you got "calins" with it....
Isn't it sooooo rewarding when you have patience enough to wait for spontaneous decisions from "them" ??? (them = these little guys, not so old, who dare to be small dictators and play endlessly with their parents's feelings)
