"Mom" and "Dad," No More "-y"

Somewhere in the past couple of weeks, Geoff and I have become "Mom" and "Dad" instead of "Mommy" and "Daddy."

It's not just Marty, either - Ellie is also calling us "Mom" and "Dad" if it isn't in a phrase (like when she wants to go somewhere and says "Mommy's car").

They've both been testing out the new names for a couple of months now, getting the taste of them. Every so often they'd throw out a "Mom" and "Dad" and see what happened, maybe to see if we were offended.

Lately it had become more frequent, but in the last couple of weeks it became a constant.

Just one more sign that my babies are growing up. I didn't realize how much I would miss being "Mommy."
