Thursday morning Annika hurt my feelings.
I was leaving for work and she was eating her breakfast while her daddy was in the shower.
I said, "Goodbye Butterbean. Have a good day. I love you!"
She was supposed to say (as is the official routine), "Goodbye Mommy. Have a good day. I love you too!"
Instead she said, "I'm not Butterbean. I'm Akka. You not call me Butterbean anymore."
So I said (in my sweetest mommy tone), "But I've called you Butterbean since you were a little baby."
She replied, "I not a baby anymore Mommy."
I cried a single tear and left for work.
She's pretty callous for a toddler.
