Confusing times... When Nyla's mom came to pick her up from preschool, she turned to me and said, "Mommy, can I have some milk?" I'm sure her real mommy didn't appreciate this, especially since 2 year old Nyla calls her mom Jeni. She shouldn't feel bad though because Jack insists on calling me "Jodi." His dad is "Daddy" but with me, it is always Jodi. He only says about 5 words total and one of those is Jodi. Why?! I think he knows what he is doing because when I'm not around, Rich claims he calls for mom, but he continues to tease me, repeating it continuously with a clever smirk. He says it so clearly that other people always ask in shock, "Did he just call you Jodi?" Ha ha. He is so independent and disturbingly smart that I often wonder if he is mine at all. He seems like a completely separate little adult trapped in a tiny body and deriving simple pleasure out of life by getting into mischief you're not sure if he's old enough to comprehend and be disciplined for and relentlessly teasing his mother. So my preschool kids calls me mommy and my kid calls me Jodi... go figure.
Don't worry... he actually loves this. He was giggling and yelling "Weeeee...!"
Oh, and in other news, I passed the state exam for my real estate license! Boo yeah! Who's your mommy!
