It’s been interesting watching people’s reactions hearing what they say when I’ve shown them our baby’s pictures. All women, especially mothers say the following phrases – though the specific order may vary:
- She’s so beautiful (they are right of course, but they still say it)
- How exciting! (usually in a higher pitched voice)
- When do you go get her?
- Her shoes are so big for her (see one of the pictures below to understand this comment)
The men, even fathers, generally say:
- Congratulations
- When do you travel?
Occasionally a male, in touch with his inner voice, may venture forth a few more words or even offer some advice, but those men are rare and are usually fathers.
Still no word on the travel dates although our agency is optimistic that we will be departing in late January. -tjm
