"It depends" could have come from any of a million things, the most likely of which is sleep deprivation. Ignore it. It's good that she gave you her number, and don't sweat the kid seeing that happen. Kids see people swap numbers all the time - it goes with cell phone use. Instead, think of yourself as a great role model because your son saw you pull digits on a playground.
Next time, don't be in such a rush to give up your number. She'll probably jump at the chance to talk to you when she's not up to her elbows in applesauce and baby shit. Instead, DHV that you know what it's like to be a parent by waiting until 9:00 PM to call. The kids are in bed and she's starting to relax, and that's an incredibly lonely time for a single mom. She's exhausted and has no one there to help or to distract her from her misery. If she takes the call, you'll probably be the last person she talks to that night. Be cool and funny and don't push too hard to see her. Run low-key comfort game in your best Barry White voice and just basically tuck her in. She'll do the rest, probably sooner than you think.
If you leave a message, just let her know that Barry White was thinking about her. Single moms feel abandoned, which makes them feel unsexy and undesirable. Your message will be the first one she gets the next morning, and it will make her feel sexy and desirable all day long. Single moms never get enough of that.
