My first sib set was 2. 5 and 18 months and they both called us Mom and Dad. They really have a need to feel safe and safety involves having a Mom and Dad. At this age, the title is what the give to the person who cares for them. they don't understand all the other stuff. Psychologically at this age, Mom and Dad are the terms they understand for their care givers. Even at Daycares, little kids will call their care givers that.
I always try to refer to myself as Momma C or C Mom, but eventually they will call me what they want to. I had a 4 yr old who never called me anything because he just hadn't figured out what to call me. I kept referring to myself as Ms. C to him, but he never used it.
