Charlie's announcement

Alli asked me to post a video of Charlie announcing that he's a big brother.  Some of you may remember a similar video that Abby did.  Both productions had their share of issues.  Here is a reminder of Abby's:

She could not properly say her "s" -es or "r" -s, or put two words together.  Thus the grandparents confusion when they received the "surprise" video.  :) 

Well, Charlie can fully talk, but chooses to not fully comprehend the fact that he will no longer be the baby.  Here is take #1 where all he was supposed to do was say "I'm a big brother!"

Then I tried to have a conversation with him to capture his excitement over our new arrival: (another link)

Once that failed, I explained very clearly that he would indeed need to give up his crib for the baby to sleep in - alone - and that he would get a new, big boy bed.  This backfired.

Sorry, Alli.  We'll give another shot once his brain refreshes.
