Maddie and E...

My husband, known to the grandchildren as "E" is a special man. He's never too busy or too proud to get in the floor to play with the grandchildren. In fact, my daughter and I have decided that granddaughter, Madison, thinks that "E" is her own personal playmate. She talks to him like he's her best friend.

While we were on our recent vacation, Madison and "E" could be found strutting around the condo, acting like turkeys, and saying "gobble, gobble, gobble"! I don't know whose idea that game was, but they played it several times during the vacation. It was quite a sight--the two of them strutting around together!

Recently, Madison was doing something that she shouldn't be doing, and I heard "E" tell her if she didn't stop he would have to use "Sgt. Swatter (our large fly swatter) on her bottom. She looked at him like she couldn't believe her ears...but she complied with his wishes. I don't know whose heart it will break the worst if "E" ever has to use "Sgt. Swatter"...

Sgt. Swatter! Haha! That's cute! My mom has the same bewildered look on her face when she has to get onto my son. It's so nice to have involved grandparents. "E" sounds like a really good granddad!

Probaby E's heart will break first! I love to see those granddads with those babies!
