...can't remember their child's first word?!
DD (5) asked me yesterday (no idea where the question came from or what prompted it) and I honestly could not remember.
I panicked, told her it was 'Dada' and have racked my brains ever since but honestly cannot remember this milestone. This has also made me realise I can't remember DD2's either, who is 11 months younger than DD1 (yes, bit of a surprise).
But, anyway, I mentioned this to a friends this morning who has a DD of the same age and she was, frankly, horrified and said she couldn't believe anyone would forget such a thing. Now I feel dreadful!
AIBU for thinking surely I can't be the only one who can't remember this?? From memory there was a long period of general babbling and then a smattering of words.... friend implied I should have a very, very, clear recollection of this momentous occasion and that I was weird for not.
Am I dreadful?
PS. I have one of those baby books for each of them which I have checked, and seems I abandoned writing anything in at all after about three weeks......
