Current mood: sad
Mia was a semi-late talker but she is making up for lost time now! She is saying more and more words everyday, putting two words together and now singing lyrics! Her first song is by the Black Eyed Peas "Don't lie", she sings "No no no no, no no no no ... no liiiiiieeee" haha Its really cute. Especially when she sings it out of the blue while playing with her toys.
Another thing that makes me melt is hearing her call me "Mama". This has been going on for awhile, infact her first word at 6 months old was "Mama". However, only within the past couple of months has she really been calling to me. I love it... but tonight I got a taste of the heart breaking side.
She usually goes to bed pretty good. She knows I will only stay with her for a short while, then I get up from her bed, give her some toys and her blanket, kiss her head goodnight and walk out. She is really good about this and its been FOREVER since she has cried. However, her Grandpa Pizano has been visiting us for the past couple of days and for some reason she gets alittle more fussy around bedtime. She will cry when we leave her in her bed and its really weird.
Well Grandpa left today and Dada went to work so I put Mia to bed like I always do. Things were going great until I was about to leave. Then she started to cry, tried to get me to lay back down and refused to take any toys or her blanket. I kissed her goodnight anyway and by the time I reached the door she was standing in her bed crying. I felt so bad, but I knew I had to leave anyway. I didn't want to reinforce that if she cried enough I would come back.
So I left feeling really bad. As I reached the stairs she was crying louder. I only made it about mid way down the stairs before I heard her cry out "Mama!!" "Mammmma!!" To hear that name in which I cherish so much, said in a cracking crying voice it just broke my heart into millions of pieces. I stood there, dead in my tracks trying to convince myself to keep walking away. "MAMA!!! MAAAAMA!!" I kept hearing! My little girl wanted me, she has NEVER done this before. I just couldn't take it anymore and ran back up the stairs to her room. I went inside to find her crying for me.
I laid down with her and calmed her back down. She instantly tried to go to sleep. She felt so comfy and happy just to have me there. She knew it wasn't play time, she just wanted to be with her Mama. I melted. I stayed with her as long as I could but unfortunately my son had other plans. I started to get bad indigestion so I HAD to get up and leave.
Of course Mia didn't like this but I had no choice. I kissed her goodnight and practically ran down the stairs so I couldn't hear her call me again and lure me back.
Such a sad sad moment but very touching. I love my little Mia and I know she loves her Mama too!
