"You're mommy",..."Aunt Ditty?", says Evangeline. Then, "Lolly's your mommy. You're my mommy." It is so sweet to watch Evangeline try and put all the pieces together. She knows I'm her mother but is also now learning that other people call me by different names. Yes, it must look quite complicated. I turn at Christine, Chrissy, Chris, and of course anytime anyone says Mom. I answer to Mrs. Rudnick but only after looking to see if Phyllis Rudnick is in the room. Also, some of my nephews and niece call me Aunt Ditty. Aunt Ditty seems only natural after Jill called me Ditty for quite some time growing up. Evangeline watches me as a wife to her daddy, a mother to her brother, and sister and daughter (also add in-law to both of those) to her family members that go by other names. It's so sweet to watch our little one's mind work. Evangeline is truly finding her place in our beautiful puzzle.
