\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[level]{datetime}
\usepackage{ifthen}

\newcommand{\lowershortmonthname}[1]%
{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{1}}{jan}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{2}}{feb}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{3}}{mar}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{4}}{apr}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{5}}{may}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{6}}{jun}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{7}}{jul}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{8}}{aug}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{9}}{sep}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{10}}{oct}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{11}}{nov}{}%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{12}}{dec}{}%
}

\newdateformat{mydate}{\lowershortmonthname{\THEMONTH} 
\ordinaldate{\THEDAY} \THEYEAR}
\mydate

\begin{document}

Show today's date: \today, and again \today,\\
and again \today.

\end{document}
