Some days it seems this girl of mine is growing up at lightning speed!Tonight Chloee decided to call Matt dad instead of daddy. It felt so strange to hear her little voice tacking dad onto the end of her questions.
"Are you finished with your hot cocoa yet, dad?"
"What's this piece for, dad?"
In one small moment she transitioned from little girl to big girl. Sigh.
I remember clearly going through my own mother phase. And then when I first read the classic Little Women I called my mom, marmee. Marmee? C'mon! My mom sure is one patient lady.
When did you stop with the mommies and daddies and move on to more sophisticated parental name-calling?
(I must admit that I still call my dad daddy.)

How funny, Alicia. I don't remember so many stages & changes growing up. I was never much of a 'mommy' girl b/c my grandma couldn't stand to hear it. She always instructed us to call our mom 'mother'. I have just about always called her 'mom' or 'momma'. Dad has always been 'dad'. No daddy girl days for me ;-) Chloe is just such an adorable girl - love the pics!
Really? You do?
I started calling my dad "Papa" one day, & I still do.
I'll have to ask my mom when that whole transition took place...
