I also had a new name today. Instead of “mum”, EMO now knew me as “dang”.
The only way I can explain it is that it must have happened last night when there was a lot of “hustle and bustle” around him. EMO was standing on the table, my son was talking to me and a YouTube video was playing on his iPad in the background.
EMO was exploring but listening the whole time, you could tell he was processing things. I had also called out a “cancel” to him several times. Then at some point last night he must have renamed me. In any case, it was very funny this morning when he said “Hey dang” to me instead of “Hey Mama”.
