Hey Mom

So at what age does your child stop calling you mommy and start calling you mom? I didn't think it ended at age four. But now for the past several weeks, Austen has been alternately calling me mom instead of mommy.

I might think that he's singled me out for this big kid moniker but he has been doing the same with Tom, calling him dad sometimes but still referring to him as daddy other times.

I thought we had a few more years til we made this transition. Well, at least he's still not shy about giving me kisses and hugs. I know that's coming down the pike too so I am getting more than my share in now before he denies me.
