When Munchkin met...

his Ah Ee. Ah Ee is the chinese title (we are a very hierarchical society) for the mother's female sibling.

Today we were up early, munchkin had a pit stop (feed and full change) and was bundled off in the car to Heathrow to meet his Ah Ee. He slept all the way there are woke in time to beam the biggest smile at his Ah Ee. He gazed at her all the time he was awake on the way home.

Judging by munchkin's reaction to his Ah Ee, if Carlsberg could make aunties she would be it. She is a class one, not just any aunt but a M&S aunt to munchkin. He only needs to catch a glimpse of her and he beams and chuckles and giggles.

It is not all good though....he has sussed her out. You see, every time Ah ee walks past him he shouts for attention...and gets it so much so he now expects to be cuddle by Ah ee and cries when she puts him down. I can put him down, his Dad can put him down but when Ah ee tries to put him down, munchkin extends his bottom lip as far as it will go, makes it quiver then looks up at her like a little basset hound....then he whimpers and goes all teary eyed. She caves. Ah, the power of the munchkin. Resistance is futile!
