my little "Benedict Arnold"

Yesterday afternoon, I was playing with Jeolo on our bed. He was trying to imitate me as I wagged my tongue at him. Thinking that he was in the mood to mirror what I was doing, I decided to try and teach him to call me "Mama". He does say it some time but he also calls me "MeeMee". I wanted him to focus on just one name for me. So there we were, face to face, with me telling him, "Say MA-MA". He stared at my mouth as if he was trying to figure out how to say it, his little face screwed up in concentration. "Come on, baby... Say MA-MA..."

Then he opened his mouth and uttered with conviction...

"DADA."

Waaaaaahhhhhhh... the little traitor! :o(
