When my cousins and I were young and cried for our moms, my grandma Ida would sing to us, "I want my mommy, oh yes I do. I want my mommy, I want her now. Bring me my mommy, bring her right here. Bring me my mommy or I will cry." Yesterday was the first time I felt like my little Ida needed her mommy instead if just anyone.
My mom was holding Ida and she would not stop crying no matter what her grandma did. My mom finally said, "Do you want to try?" So I took my baby and held her close and bounced her. She calmed down quickly. It is nice to feel needed and loved by my little girl.
