Auntie Effie is your Momma's sister - she's your only Auntie. How lucky you are to have such a dedicated, caring & silly person love you, my boy? Make sure you love her extra hard, okay?
Three reasons why your Aunt rocks:
Last week, you and I drove out to Oakley (that's Momma's home town!) to hang out with Grandma and Auntie. We met up at Chili's and Uncle Joey joined us, too. Auntie E was a little late like usual (just like your Momma, too. Momma is ALWAYS late.) and when she got there she showed pulled up her sleeve, and low and behold, she'd marked herself for you.
The four of us went out to lunch, your Grandma, Auntie E, you and I, and you started fussing AS SOON as the food arrived (like usual. This is an everyday event, baby boy), your Auntie picked you up and fed you a bottle and sung to you. Her meal, french toast and soup (what an odd combo!), sat there getting colder and colder by the minute but she just held you tight and sung you a little song.
Last time we spent the night at Grandma's, Momma had to go out to Target and pick up a few things at 9 o'clock at night. Grandma Clark watched you and I called Auntie E. up and asked if she wanted to go with me... she did! We spent a good hour in the store farting around and it was so nice for Momma. Little breaks away help charge my "Momma batteries" and make me a better Mom for you. Big deep belly laughs while Auntie tries on hotdog and spider costumes can also do wonders.
We're so lucky to have her in our life, little Squid!
That tattoo is AMAZING!!!

Oh wow! Her tattoo is beautiful! Even more so knowing it's for her nephew. Also, I may just wonder over to Target today and pick up that hot dog costume. Haha.
