These are but a few of the titles I have worn through the years, but there are none I've claimed more proudly than MOMMY.
There's only one person in the world that calls me by that name - which seems rather appropriate, since she is the center of my world.
Sometimes it just totally blows my mind to think that I am a mother! Not only have I somehow become an adult (huh? I don't always feel very grown up!), but I have a daughter. There's an incredible little girl who looks up to me and calls me Mommy. And she's all mine. Wow!
So, one afternoon last week Nadia and I sat at the kitchen table with a bucket full of foam ABC stickers and construction paper. After carefully spelling out several names (proud mommy sidenote - the kid knows ALL her letters!), she plucked a yellow "M" from the pile and stuck it to my forehead.
"This is so you always know who you are," she said. "You are my mommy, and that's for 'Mmmmm.'"
Of course I promptly found an "N" - in pink! everything's better in pink! at least, when you're a three year old girl it is! - and likewise labeled her.
The image below is the only one I managed to snap of my Little N tho, since she was too busy commandeering the camera and directing a photoshoot to actually pose for a shot.
Plus, that rosy letter didn't stay put for too long.
"Actually Mama," she decided, "the "N" should be for you too, because you are NADIA'S MOMMY!"
And she gently placed the N beside the M.
Okay, everyone together now - awwwww!
As I said: There are many titles I have worn through the years, but there are none I've claimed more proudly than NADIA'S MOMMY.

Before asking, please review the following FAQ:
Did Nadia really take all of these pictures herself? No, but she did take the first two. And yes, I'm proud of the little protege!
