In The Thick of It

School is back in full swing. Between book club, Lit Class and Theme older child is currently reading three novels. It took us several years to get here but older child doesn't have to be nailed to a chair and forced to do homework anymore and younger child has always been very proactive with it so life is good now...except for the fact that I don't understand their homework half the time. We did a little school clothes shopping this afternoon. Younger child kept yelling "heads up momma" from the dressing room before she'd throw an outfit out for me to hang up. It's funny how people always comment on both my kids referring to me as "momma". The dressing room attendant said it was such a sweet term of endearment. I agree. I've always loved it. We don't know why either of the girls call me that instead of mom or mommy but they always have since they were babies. My youngest also refers to her big sis as "Sissy" also, more than by her real name. It's funny how they decide what to call people. Their grandpa has always been "Papa" instead of grandpa. Older child has also given most her girlfriends nicknames...like "Woodchip"! I guess it could be worse?
