"it's Aunt Missy"

Woo Hoo....you would think I won the lottery with how happy I was to hear those words. My mom had William and Sarina for a sleepover this weekend so I decided to give them a call. William answered the phone like a big boy, "hello". I said "Hi William, what are you doing" he preceded to tell me all about playing hide and seek with Grandma and making cards for mommy and daddy. Then I hear my mom in the background ask him who was on the phone. With great enthusiasm her said "it's Aunt Missy". I had not said who I was, so he recognized my voice and knew who it was. Woo Hoo....this is the first time he has ever done that. William is well over 3 years old and very familiar with all his family that he sees regularly, but since we only see them 2 or 3 times a year he has trouble remembering us. So when he recognized my voice and was obviously very excited to talk to me I was overjoyed. It really brought a smile to my face today.
