To be annoyed that my toddler says the name of everything he see's EXCEPT for "mummy"??

Lighthearted but... DH gets a doe-eyed, excited "DADDY, DADDY" whenever he walks into a room. Cars, cats, flowers etc get pointed at and named. Even "door" gets more attention than boring old mummy!!

What do I have to do to get a "mummy" out of him??

Well it's cheered me up reading these replies. :D

He has actually said the word "mama". But he was looking at a picture of a cow at the time!!

My DS aged 4 calls me "Brian"

just wait!

dd calls me mummy or mama but never when anyone else is around. She'll sit up and shout for me randomly in the middle of the night and insist I get up in the morning with her rather than daddy. I'm only refured to by her when she needs something or I've had the ordasity to sneak off and leave her with daddy to nap or shower. The rest of the time I am simply there so she has no need to summon me when she wants to give her orders.

She loves my sister and her patner to bits and will ask for them constantly and declares loudly I love xxxx! She also adoors my mum and dad, granny and grandachoc. I currently get a very long winded dismissle as we walk to their house, 'go home, bye bye, love you, see you later, go home, play granny!' She's normally rather dismayed to see me return if she's been left to play and tends to be reluctant to come home. 'coat up, shoes off, sit down now'

However my poor mum had a lovely moment with her when we were doing a pre christmas shop in a very busy suppermarket. Dd fell over and started to shout for me no mummy, no mummy, and mum had to buddle her into the trolley and try not to look like she was kidnapping her.

In our house 'mummy' means monkey. I don't have a name ??

my DD didn't say mummy until she was over 2.
now she must say it at least 100 times a day even when she's not addressing me, replaces all the words in a song with mummy, never calls on daddy during the night so I always have to get up...
its so tiring.
YANBU but I say enjoy it while it lasts.
