Quote of the Day: "We need another Mama!"

Tonight Owen was having a mega-tantrum at bedtime (see above post). He was mad because he wanted me (Heather) to put his pajamas on him, not Braydon. We go through these Mama-Mama Phases from time to time, and we're definately in one right now. Both boys want all-Mama all-the-time. With twins the Mama-Mama Phase is times two but with only one mama the intensity feels like it is about times ten: all Mama x 2 + all the time x 2 + only 1 Mama = 10+ on the Mama-Mama Phase Richter Scale. One time Braydon and I actually counted -- in a 60 second span we heard the word "Mama" 41 times. Anyway... tonight Owen was kicking and screaming and pouring out tears and thrasing about on the floor as Braydon struggled to get his pajamas on him. Meanwhile I was getting Kyle into his pajamas about three feet away. In the midst of the chaos Kyle announces totally matter-of-factly: "We got only one Mama. Only one!?!? We need another Mama!"
