"Yue Yights"

I just had to share this with everyone!! Because of Darin working for the Rowan County Sherriff's Dept and being Chief of the East Spencer Fire Dept, Ethan has become FASCINATED with "Cop Cars" and "Fire Trucks". He loves to explore the "cop car" and if Darin is going to the Fire Dept you can bet Ethan won't be far behind him. LoL. Every day that Darin has to work, Ethan is right on his tail, following him around the house while he gets ready. (He can't get over the fact that "Ewin" wears the same clothes to "Wurk" as Pee-Paw.) We've kinda started a little tradition and I've been wanting to take a little video clip of it to share with everyone. I didn't get as good of a clip as I would have liked, but I think you'll get the idea. Ethan walks Darin to his car every day that he works night shift & before Darin leaves, he will always turn the "Yue Yights" on for him. Ethan gets so excited that he can hardly contain himself. Usually, he gets really bouncy and those little arms get to swingin'!! He turns to me and hollars "Yue Yights!! Yue Yights!!". He walks up the grill of the car everytime and tries to stick his little fingers through to touch the lights, then he'll go to the corners and stick his little nose up to the flashing light. Today, he got so excited, he climbed on his little park bench in the flower bed. I had to cut the clip short cause he got so excited about the lights that he took off around the car to inform Darin that the "yue yights" were on and he fell down. Needless to say, it didn't stop him for long. He jumped right back up and took off to Darin..."Yue Yights, Yue Yights!!" I managed to get a couple of pics of the two of them after he climbed in on Darin's lap. Ethan has fallen in love with Darin and quite honestly, I think he's getting to where he prefers Darin over mommy the majority of the time!! I have so enjoyed watching the two of them bond and I hope that the bond that is forming will last many many years!!

(For some reason, my pictures and the video were downloaded backwards. I worked on this for about an hour and couldn't figure out how to reverse it. I'm sure you get the idea though. LoL)
