Ella started saying "Mama" tonight! It wasn't just baby babble and she did it like three times, looking at Jenny each time. Evan started talking at six months too, but his first word was "Dada," which I was pretty happy about. But I'm glad Ella said "Mama" first, because I think Jenny needs something like that right now. After we put both kids to bed, Jenny said that hearing Ella say her name first made her feel  important and validated and loved. Then she said, "I really need to snap myself out of this, for them (the kids)." She needs to want to change for herself, too, though. But hey, it's a good start. She said she had one of those "Oprah aha moments." Haha.
But yeah, we talked for a little while and then she went to bed early. She was really calm, and she got teary-eyed a few times. She apologized to me for everything again and said she doesn't want life to be like this anymore and she wants to fix it. I was really happy to hear that. At least she's starting to think about and analyze things. So I feel hopeful. Hopefully we'll get more answers this week, too, starting with her therapist appointment tomorrow.
