i was nine. i came over to visit for the weekend and the first thing she starts screaming at me is "baby bodder, baby bodder!!!!!" i looked at my dad and said, "what is she saying?" i couldn't make it out! he told me to keep listening and try to figure it out. so finally after she said it about 50 times i screamed, "BABY BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!" i was SO excited! brett was born on august 29th and i remember i had just started school - the fifth grade. it was a new school for me since you used to change schools like every two years in gallatin (it was ridiculous) and the principal was very scary to a 10-year-old. i was sitting at lunch and someone gave me a note that i needed to go to the principal's office. everyone at the lunch table did the "oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......she's in trouble" thing that kids always do. i was so scared going up to his office!!! then i came in and he said to me, "congratulations....your dad just called and informed me that you're the big sister to a new baby brother!" i was so happy i wasn't in trouble!
i really wish i could get him to go during star wars weekends some time, but there's no way he'd endure the heat and crowds of june.
