The mommy ping test

In the first 30 minutes of consciousness, Daniel must have called "mommy" 64 times. I'm convinced it was just a ping test.
You know, like when submarines send out a signal and listen for the "ping?"
Because he didn't actually WANT anything from me - he just wanted to know I was listening to him chatter on. Thank God I've got the automatic response - "mommy?" "Yes, Daniel?" "mommy?" "yes, Daniel?" "mommy?" "yes, Daniel?" "Mommy?" "WHAT?!?!?!"
