Last night, the phone rang. I answered and said, "Hello?" and I heard what sounded like Hello, but not quite...more like elllloooo. So, I said again, "Hellooo?" and another echo...elllllooooo--sounding like someone was just mimicking me! Then I heard laughter in the background and my daughter said, "Who are you calling, ER?" LIke, I can't believe she even had to ask that question. Who else would he be calling but Mimi? I mean, Mr. Lynn was on a plane back from Temecula and unavailable, so I would think his next choice would be his Mimi...Anyway, the little bugger even put me on hold a couple of times! It is so cute, though, when they begin to mimic what they hear and see!
Afterwards, I also got to talk to Macy Moo, well...that is mostly I listen and she prattles on about school, about friends, about a sleep over. When I finally say, "Ok, Macy, thanks for calling" she says, "Mimi, please don't stop talking, I really miss you!" well...what's a Mimi to do but continue to listen? Especially when she says, "I love you bigger than the universe!" I mean, is there anything better than that??
I am happy though, because more and more, she is referring to my daughter as "Mommy" instead of "Lyndsey" an indication, I think, that she feels like a part of a family and is no longer afraid of being left by Lyndsey--or by Mimi.
