Random Randomness
Why are there coffee flavored coffee creamers? Marshmallow mocha, tiramisu, white chocolate mudslide…. does that seem a bit superfluous to anyone else? I will say that I’ve bought and used every one of those flavors. I’m pretty sure that says something not very complimentary about me, but let’s just pretend otherwise, k?
I ended up not getting anything at all from Sephora. Instead, I bought two conversation chairs, a side table and a canopy for our backyard. Maddie loves to play outside, and seeing as it’s already 95 degrees everyday, I figure we ought to be as comfy as can be.
Maddie talked on the phone for the first time yesterday. I picked up the phone to call our vet’s office and she saw me and said “Hi Dada!” Of course, I immediately called Gerald so that she could talk to him. After much prompting, she said it to him. Twice. How cool is that?? Please also note that she still DOES NOT call me “mama.” Not that I’m bitter or anything.

My kids both said other words first and not “mama”. Lucy said “dada” first, probably because I said it so much myself when her dad would come home and Ray said “keekee” for “kitty” as a cat ran by. Again probably because I’d been saying “kitty” so much.
Mama was the second word for both. Oh wait, for Ray it was “keekee” then “dada” THEN “mama”. Third.
I came in behind the cats! lol
And I’m glad you spent the money on other things. I think Sephora is overrated.
Arrg, my comment got eaten. BOO!
Anyway, the gist was that AD said “dada” forEVER before she even ONCE said Mama. But now she says it all the time, so it shouldn’t be long.
And then I said we bought one of those canopies, and anchored it with concrete blocks and everything and then Texas ruined it with its fucked up weather.
I think every kids starts with either mama or dada, and then eventually gets the other one. We started with mama, and then several months later we got around to dada. Now we are both mamadaddy, so she doesn’t even distinguish between us at all. I think that may be worse!
Let go of the bitterness, because believe me, I hear “Mooommmmmmyyyyy” eighty kabillion times a day now and it has definitely lost its charm. I’m to the point where I tell her not to call me that anymore, it’s that bad.
Oh, that patio furniture sounds nice. We must see a picture when it comes in.
Isn’t it so exciting when they can talk on the phone. Zachariah loves calling people now. I can’t talk to anyone on the phone without calling a grandma/grandpa/dad/aunt next. But it is still so cute when they start doing things like that.
I have also bought and used all those creamer flavors. I have two of them in my fridge RIGHT NOW. I would have all three, but I just finished one.
J just didn’t talk at all for the longest time. She skipped right over the mama dada and went right to mommy and daddy, except it’s more like mommeeeeee daddeeeeeeee.
