Journaling....
“Anne, can you turn off the t.v. please,” I’ll say. A common response from Anne at the age of 3 ½ years was, “Mom…(as drawn out as possible, think very adolescent here)…Mom, I’m not Anne I’m Colexis.” Anne’s alter-ego. I don’t know when Or how she came up with the name (she probably heard a c in front of Alexis sometime and Colexis was born). I do know that Colexis has made an appearance just about every day the last couple of months and when she does, I’m not Mom anymore, I’m Traci, and Daddy is Jeremy, not Daddy. Usually, she introduces herself as Colexis and tack some extra information on the statement. Such as, “Hi, my name is Colexis and I’m wearing a pretty dress today,” or “Hi my name is Colexis and I’m going to draw today.” And although I’m not looking forward to the day that she tries to use her alter-ego to get out of trouble (Mom, it wasn’t me it was Colexis.” or “Traci, I didn’t do it. I’m Colexis. Anne did it.”), I actually think I’ll miss her when she’s gone.
