Mom vs Mommy

For the past few days, my daughter has taken to calling me mom. Now, you are probably saying, what's the big deal?? Well it is a big deal to me and come on, she isn't even two-and-a-half! I waited quite a while to earn the mommy title and I would like to hold it for at least a while longer. When I say, I don't know who you are talking about, my name is mommy, she replies "No you Mom. You Joey's Mom." It is adorable and adorably frustrating at the same time. Why oh why does she insist on growing up so fast?

I suppose I should choose other, more worthwhile battles with her, and I do, but I am just not ready to let this one go. My husband thinks it is funny as we get into these mom vs mommy discussion. She is adamant, I am adamant. Each of us proudly in our corner of the ring, who will win this round? What she doesn't know is I will bribe to keep my title...
