Mama

B's saying Mama. How long I've waited to hear it. One problem: he says it while protesting and crying. This morning, he was having a tough time. Maybe it was the Monday effect. Who knows? He was crying and having tantrums a lot and generally not having a very productive therapy session. As I've mentioned before, I have to remove my attention when he's like that so that he understands that good work = more rewards, time with mom etc. So this morning, I feverishly cleaned my bedroom and rode the exercise bike downstairs while listening to him cry (extremely clearly) Ma-ma, Ma-ma, Ma-ma. Next time, go ahead and pull my heart right out of my chest, little man.
