I AM NOT YOUR MOM

So Averi has become very talk-a-tive. She has a mastered a few words and she can understand pretty much everything you tell her. However I (This is Brad, her DAD writing) am quite frustrated that she constantly calls me MAMA. She knows I am her Dad and not her Mom; we have had lengthy discussions on the matter.

She knows how to say DAD and DADA but she thinks it is hilarious to call me MAMA. She will knock on the door and yell for MAMA even though she knows I am the only person in the room. When I correct her she just laughs. It is not just once but all the time. Even when she wakes up in the middle of the night and yells out MAMA, I correct her and she just smiles and laughs. Needless to say I will have to continue to work hard to convince Averi that calling me MAMA is not acceptable and not funny.

My brother in law feels your pain brad. They have a two year old that did that for so long. We all thought it was funny, but not him!!!

I don't know, it might be really funny :)

Haha. Ben does that to Scott sometimes and he HATES it too. I thinks it's funny. But maybe I'd be singing a different tune if he called me daddy. The great thing about it is that she knows it bothers you and she does it to bug you. She is a little ham.

Sometimes Sonia combines Mama and Papa into one person- "Mapa." Personally, I think it should be Pama (papa first)...
