mommy? amy?
Amy June 17th, 2009
My 2 year old has taken to calling me Amy…
Well, let’s back up a bit. I have forbidden Michael from calling me Mommy unless in the context of talking to the kids… “Mommy wants you to do such and such” or “Mommy is mad!”, but not, for example, in saying “Mommy, what do you want to do tonight?” I don’t want to be “Mommy” to my husband, but rather Amy, his ravishingly beautiful, intelligent, and witty wife.
In thus forbidding, Mike informed me that he calls me Mommy in front of the kids or Cam will start calling me Amy. And for once, his prediction has come true. 
Now, I have to admit that it is usually on the 4th or 5th time that he has called me and I have not responded, but not always.
The other night he snuck away from his father who was downstairs and climbed the stairs (gate not locked, b/c he was with his dad) and came into the office where I was and gave me a sly grin and said, “Amy, I want to play Starfall.” The little stinker…
Is this just my child or is this a 2 year old thing? I’m not ready to relinquish my Mommy title yet!
