Nonni was the first to learn of the new addition to our little family. Through Skype, we had Ethan show her the front of his t-shirt. I had him turn around and gave her some time to read the words on the back. Immediately after she read the words, "I'm going to be a big brother" the computer crashed from a dead battery! I didn't even get to see or hear her reaction until after I reboot the computer.
We went to Chris' parents house on Saturday to celebrate Don's birthday. As soon as we walked in the door, Kathy noticed the front of Ethan's shirt. She thought it meant that Ethan was getting a puppy but didn't pay much attention. After what felt like forever, I pulled Ethan over and whispered for him to have Mimi take his shirt off. As she did, she noticed writing on the back and read the words aloud. Afterward she immediately said, "What? Is this real?!" She was pretty excited!
On Sunday, I sent Dad a text telling him we were coming over to drop off some things. When we arrived, it was only Dad home. We walked in, talked, got out toys, talked some more, had Ethan point out his shirt, and never once got a reaction from Dad. Eventually I had Ethan take the shirt off and STILL no reaction! Eventually I had to say, "Dad, read his shirt!" I think Dad was embarrassed for not noticing. Linda came home and noticed right away!
We then Skyped with Steve and attempted to show him Ethan's shirt but the connection sucked and he was in the middle of a bar. Instead, I just took a picture of the back of Ethan's shirt and texted it to him and Josh. Eventually he figured it out and was pretty excited!
My first appointment is Monday, October 3rd.
