Ok kids, you win

Hearing my freshly minted teen slip up and call me "mommy" instead of "mom" makes my heart constrict to the point where I think it might burst.

I honest to goodness think I am becoming softer and more sentimental with age. Last week after hearing Rose play in her crib for two hours (TWO HOURS when she was supposed to be napping!), I realized it was a lost cause and decided to go get her. I think in my previous mom years I would have been upset with the turn of events and tried for another two hours to get her down. Instead I pulled her out and we snuggled and played. Yup, defiantly turning soft. 

 Or maybe Andrew is just starting to rub off on me more...he has always been a softy.
