Yesterday, I came home from work to find a package addressed to Thomas.  I opened it up and unwrapped two outfits.  One is a little baseball outfit.  The other is a sailor suit.  An actual sailor suit.  I think this is the funniest thing ever.  It is so old-fashioned that I think it might be cool again.  I would have never bought this for Thomas.  If it came from a regular store, I would have returned it, to be honest.  But this gift was specially ordered, as you can tell by the personalization.  It really is cute, and when he’s big enough to wear it, I’ll take him in to get photographs taken.  

When I first unwrapped the gift, I couldn’t tell who it was from.  I finally found a card taped to the bottom of the wrapping paper.  It was a “Congratulations, It’s a Girl” card, which was kind of strange.  Obviously the store had personalized it and attached the card when they shipped it.  The card had the names of two people I have never actually met, but I do know who they are.  They live on the street where my husband grew up. He’s known them his whole life.  My father in law recently went back and visited, so that must be how they heard about Thomas.  It was very kind of them to think of Thomas.  They either have a wacky sense of humor, or they think this is a traditional gift for a baby boy.  Either way, I’m sure Thomas will hate us when we show the pictures to his girlfriend.
