EE!!!

...Is what Owen's exclaims everytime he sees my BFF of 20+ years. Owen LOVES his Aunt EE. No one knows where "EE" came from, only the mind of a 2yo can come up with that I suppose. Every time someone knocks on our door he shouts "EE HOOMMEEE!!" and runs to the door. Now, 9 times out of 10, it is EE-we don't get many visitors way out here-but occasionally he is disappointed to find it's just the UPS guy. When EE came over the other day, he didn't hear her knock, so when he came around the corner and saw her standing in the living room, it was pure love and joy. He threw his beloved snack on the floor, screamed "EE!!" and took off running to her. Thank goodness she knew to drop her stuff cause she would have been bowled over by 25 pounds of excitement. He gets excited to see me when I pick him up from school, but I never get that kind of reception! The rest of the night it's "EE 'mon", "EE walk", "EE running"...yes, he's very bossy these days. But she humors him and plays along. Really, I don't know who love who more as I think she now comes over to see me only about 50% of the time. The rest of the time is for the boy. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Hopefully, someday (soon) I will get to be an EE ~ cause your own kid will never love you the way they love the fun, cool, aunt.

We love you EE!

And yes, I love that kid!
