The document tells a story from the perspective of a child about their family getting a new baby brother or sister named Andre. Some key details provided are that the parents announced the new baby would be coming in September, Andre was born cold and jaundiced but recovered under lights in the hospital, and the child expresses mixed feelings about having to share toys and attention now that Andre has joined the family.
1. Hi everyone, you remember my first slide show from a couple of years ago... ..I sure hope so because I don’t Too bad because it got some really good feedback. Let me tell you another really nice story... About my new best friend. His name is Andre, and although he doesn’t like to play with any of my toys and doesn’t talk to me, I know he loves me very much. It’s a story about my new best friend. We love each other very much and I know that one day I will be his best friend too!
2. But first I need to put my best friend to sleep because it is a long story.
3. One day mommy went to the washroom and then she screamed. Then daddy screamed too. Then they both said I would have a little friend, but they wouldn’t tell me if it was a boy or a girl.
4. The doctors said it was around the 3rd week of September, which falls exactly on the night that Joe Arroyo came to town and mom and dad decided to take the whole Riverpark Dental team to see the concert. I was not invited, and when I asked to go, they just made weird faces at me.... and said I was too little to go...I was upset because I am an amazing dancer!
5. In retrospect, I guess I was happy that I wouldn’t be alone anymore, even though if it meant sharing everything I had, such as MY bed
6. Here is a little video of Andre on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5wSE0dju4c
7. Andre’s first trip to Mexico. Both mommy and I had to carry heavy round things.
8. In May they threw a Baby Shower party for me..... I guess it was me because I was the only baby there, they gave me cake and presents.
9. When Andre came out he was even more dirty than me after eating an ice cream
10. Andre was really cold because his hands were blue and was wrapped up like a mummy.
11. Our first family photo....I hate pictures, let me go dad!! Andre cover your face so that they can’t take pictures of us!
12. Just like me Andre had jaundice and had to stay under the lights....
13. Soon he was nice and healthy and could go home....
