I have a name! And it is Mama! Today Benji finally called me Mama, unprompted and unmistakably, as a name. We were at the bank and I was sitting at one of the desks opening an account. Benji was wandering around on the other side of the lobby and he called out Mama, clear as a bell, and came running across the lobby to give me a brochure. I gave him such a big hug! He walked back across the lobby and repeated, calling to Mama several times as he came over with a new brochure. I think he did this four times total so I know it wasn't a fluke. Now we just need to keep practicing and reinforcing. But tonight I shall just cherish this memory and write this date in Benji's baby book.
