staring intently at kazue, he returned my gaze with one of babbling curiosity. this intense staring contest began when i heard him say an incoherent word that sounded similar to "mama". since then i've been watching him like a hawk, trying to catch his first words. laying on the floor with kazue babbling nonsense in front of me, i grew impatient. trying to urge him to say "mama" again, i repeated the name a few times in hopes he would pick it up. in response to my consistent chanting, he would clap his tiny hands together and giggle his sweet laugh.

"what're you two up to?"

glancing up at his tall stature from where i laid, i turned my attention back to our son who was now playing with a volleyball he sat down in front of him. "i swear i heard him say "mama" earlier so i'm trying to catch him saying it again," i responded, preoccupied with rolling the ball back to kazue.

"and how's that going for you?" from the tone of his voice, i could tell that he was enjoying my torment. he took a seat on the couch with a look of amusement on his smug face. "are you sure he didn't say "dada"?"

groaning, i got up into a sitting position and lifted kazue from under his armpits. "can you say "mama"?" i asked him sweetly, bouncing him slightly. enunciating the word slowly and clearly for him, i waited patiently for him to repeat it back to me.

running through his unkept hair, he scooted forward and opened up his arms. "here, let me try."

"knowing you, you're probably going to pull some crap," i commented, turning kazue to face tetsuro. sliding my hands to his tiny hands, i guided kazue to tetsuro. once he was close enough to him, i let go of his hands to see what he would do. we both watched as kazue paused and wobbled a little before he started to stomp his way towards tetsuro.

"KAZUE, YOU'RE WALKING!" tetsuro cheered as kazue continued to stomp his way. i joined in on the cheering, grabbing my phone where i abandoned it when i focused my attention to kazue. "good job, little man!" tetsuro lifted him off of the floor and kissed his cheek.

"i can't believe he's walking now," i said, rewatching the little video i captured of kazue walking towards tetsuro. "next thing you know, he's off to school." i wiped away an imaginary tear from the corner of my eye as i looked up at my favorite pair.

"now, kazue... the real question is, can you say "mama"?" teturso asked kazue, setting him on his lap. kazue looked up at him with the biggest eyes, his mouth forming the word "ma". "that's right, ma... ma."

"mama~" kazue said before turning to me and pointing.

i gasped and went over to where they were. "yes, me! i'm mama," i exclaimed, clapping my hands at his achievements. "aww look at our little boy growing up. he can walk and say "mama"!"

the smug look on his face appeared again as he looked down at me kneeling between his legs. "he said "dada" just the other day, didn't you little man?" he asked kazue, showering his chubby cheeks with kisses.

gaping at him, i slapped his thigh. "why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

"i thought you knew," he smiled down at me.

frowning, i moved so that i sat down next to them. as if it was second nature to him, tetsuro wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into him.

"mama!" kazue exclaimed, placing a hand on my cheek.

kissing his palm, i continued to pout teasingly. i couldn't stay mad at either of them, but that didn't mean i couldn't pretend. "i guess daddy and kazzie love each other more than they love mommy, huh?"

"WHAT?! that is not true. that's not true, right kazue?" tetsuro said, trying to prove me wrong. he turned to look at kazue who looked back at him with a look that said he had no idea what was going on but was happy he was being included. "see, baby? kazue and i love you just as much."

letting out air through my nose in amusement, i pinched kazue's cheek as i snuggled into tetsuro's warmth. "kazzie's such a daddy's boy."

"mm... that's okay," tetsuro said, "then i get to have mommy all to myself." he leaned in to kiss my cheek and once he did, i turned to face him to meet him in a sweet kiss. i felt movement on my side and next thing i knew, kazue was climbing on top of us trying to join in.

laughing, i pulled him into my arms. "we didn't forget you, kazue." we both showered him with kisses as he squealed in delight.
