'No, it's MY mama!'

Ben isn't particularly jealous of me and other children, but he does get his back up if another kid calls me 'mama' - even if they're calling me 'Ben's mama', all he hears is the 'mama' part. And so he'll quickly correct any child by saying 'No, it's MY mama. Your mama is over there!' and he'll point to said kid's mama.

It's pretty funny. Though I do wonder how he'll feel about the new baby now. He's never shown any sort of jealousy with me holding other babies, etc. and he's always very helpful wanting to bring toys and he's so gentle and sweet, but he knows I'm not their mama. Should be interesting. I hope it's not too hard on him.
