Mommy Moment

Here is my insecure Mommy Moment that ended in one of the best stories I'll probably remember forever! Ever since Joe and I went to Yellowstone Kennedy has REFUSED to say moma. Not uttered it ONCE since we came back but EVERYTHING is dadadadadadad. And me being the insecure Mom figured it was because we left her for 2 nights with G-ma and not mommy. (Even though I work Graveyards and am only home 3 nights a week) I really mean she has refused to, Joe has said to her "say moma" and she'll shake her head no and yell dadadadad and smile. She is very much a daddys girl lately but its really gotten worse since our trip.
Today I had to take Kennedy to get her shots :( It was so sad. My sis and her baby Parker came too. She was so unhappy on the way home and we stopped by Joes work to take him a drink. Kennedy stopped cying as soon as she saw dad and was so happy even after we left. I left for work tonight and Kennedy was just fine as usual but when I was talking to Joe on my way there on the phone she just started screaming and crying and wouldnt stop. This is SO not like her at all. It was that horrible sad cry that just breaks your heart. I was almost ready to cry just because I wasnt there to comfort her. A few min later I get a text from Joe and it said "guess what quieted Kennedy?" I had no idea. He wrote me back and told me what it was. A few years ago for Valentines Day I bought Joe this little stuffed bear that is holding a picture frame and put a nice picture of me in there and the frame says I love you. It sits on our headboard on our bed. She was looking at it so Joe handed it to her. She held it so she was holding the frame looking at my picture and started giving my picture kisses. Then she started talking to it. Then she took out her binkie and tried to give the picture of me her binkie :) He said she told 'me' all kinds of stories. It just made my heart melt. He sent me this picture of her. The red thing she is holding is the picture frame. I am so blessed :)
