The Battle for 'Ma-ma'

Hearing Myah say 'Ma-ma' is a rarity. Don't get me wrong, she can do it (and has for a while) she just seems to know that it's the one word that I really want to hear. To illustrate this point I will let you in on a recent conversation.

Me: Myah, say Ma-ma.
Myah: MA-MA.
Me: Good girl! Say Ma-ma.
Myah: (smiling) Da-da! Da-da!
Me: No, I'm Mama. Say Mama.
Myah: (smiling real big) No!

This was the first time we've heard 'no' out of her. I think it's her idea of a joke to say 'Da-da' when I ask her to say Ma-ma because she always smiles like a fool before she answers me.
