I’m spend 85% of my time with my boys, except for the 3 hours a day Monday – Friday that they are in summer camp, I am always with them. They are 3 & 4 years old, so most of my day consists of responding to all of their “mami” requests. Mami I’m hungry, mami I don’t want that, mami it hurts, mami he hurt me, mami it’s not working, mamiiiiiiii. And yes it is mami because we are hispanic :-).
But, I can’t imagine a sweeter sound than that of my boys, specially when they call me name. They also come over and give me hugs and kisses and say they love me. So, at the end of the day, being “mami” is the biggest blessing I could have ever imagined.
