Mommy, I need you
You know what is amazing? When Sam wakes up in the night and is afraid or confused, he says, “Mommy.” I am the first thing that comes to his mind. “Mommy, I need you.” When he gets hurt, “I need Mommy to kiss it.” When he doesn’t feel well, “I need Mommy to chill me out.”
And what amazes me about this is that I am the mommy. Me. Someone (two people, actually) needs me so much that when they awake in the dark I am the person that can make it all better. I’m the mommy.
I’ve submitted the above photo to the 5 Minutes For Mom photo contest.

Last night A called from her bed “I need Dada to take me to the Doctor.” (I think her stupid molars are coming in)
Since I broke my ankle she alternates between calling for me and calling for him. Though, I’m usually the one she gets, regardless.
I have to say it can be overwhelming to be ‘the one’ but then it hurts when the name called isn’t yours. How dumb… must be the hormones.

Lovely, lovely and true. It’s overwhelming and wonderful at the same time.
