Mama, mama
April 25th, 2007 by Shooi
Sometimes I wonder how important I am to Bryan. When my parents are around, he almost never look for me. He is very comfortable under my parents care.
But when he was sick last week, it was “mama, mama†all the time.
At his ward floor’s nurse station, there was an “electronic fish aquarium.†He wanted to go out and see the “fishes†all the time. So he would keep asking us to take him out.
But if it were anyone other than me, a few moments after he left his room, he would go, “mama, mama†and demand to come back to me.
I can’t even go to the toilet to wash my hand. The moment I am out of his sight, it is “mama, mama.â€

I’m not surprised he is attached to you, Shooi. For comfort, for love and for nurturing, the mommy is the first one the baby will look for.
