Sydney Penny happy with the title of 'Chasen's mom'

Prior to being let go from All My Children, actress Sydney Penny’s workload had been scaled back.  However, the 36-year-old didn’t mind that much because it meant she got to spend time with her son Chasen August, 11 months.

It’s been really great to spend this time together, because every single week, there’s something new.  I’m glad not to have missed that.

While at work Sydney quickly became known as Chasen’s mom and learned that everyone wanted to see him more than her.

As a matter of fact, if I walk into work and go into the makeup room without him in his stroller with me, they pretty much say, ‘Okay this time, but don’t come back without him!’  I realize I better stick pretty close to the title of ‘Chasen’s mom,’ or nobody will want anything to do with me!

Chasen’s dad is producer Robert Powers.
