"Mamma." How can we be sure? What makes this "mamma" different from the many other "mamma"s, "dadda"s, and even "mamamama"s and "dadadadadadadada"s we've heard?
Context: Mamma had left for the gym, the white car was pulling out of the driveway, visible through the opened front door. "Mamma!" Alice cried, in grief, and perhaps despair.
Today, Tuesday, July 10th, 2007, c. 9:00 am - language born in longing, signifying what is not there.
--Dada

Alice has so much to discover in the world around her. I'm glad she started with Mamma and Dadda, two of the people that love her so much. Thanks for sharing this precious moment in time with us.
