Aunt 'Nae was gone visiting our parents. The boys did miss her, often asking where Nae was. A few times during dinner, William would perk up and ask in a distressed voice, "Na-Nae? Na-Nae?"
The first morning she was home, Mikey came down and acted all shy around her, talking to me in a whispered tone to not be heard by LeNae (she's lived with us for 3 months, gone one week and already Mikey's forgotten about her). William instantly responded very well to LeNae, he had been looking for her for some time now.
I was wondering how Roger was going to react. She came down the stairs. Roger got one look at her and said, "You not my best fiend, Mamma's my best fiend."
Ouch! So I tried to smooth things over by saying, "Roger, aren't you so happy to see Aunt Nae back?"
"No! Nae, you not petty, only my momma is too petty."
LeNae responded with, "I didn't even ask!"
Unfortunately this is exactly how Roger responded to LeNae before she left. Nothing changed with him. But, here is a picture of LeNae holding Roger as he fell asleep when he was sick. You think he would remember tender moments like this.
