It was simply the most intense and amazing experience of my life. I gave birth to a great, adorable little boy. Though he can not say anything but “ga”, and seems incapable to actually direct his arms and legs that well, I have confidence that when he is older, he will grow in to a wholly functional adult just like his father is.
And so, in spite of the fact that my little bundle of joy does not do much besides lie around all day, and is not much of a conversationalist, I thought that it was important to mail out baby boy announcements to all of my friends as soon as possible so that they could come by and meat little Johnny.
When I selected my baby boy announcements, I surely wanted to take my time. I am fussy in all things, especially important ones. There is nothing in this world that is more important than presenting a good appearance to friends, colleagues, and anybody you might pass on the road, and whether it is clothes or baby boy announcements, appropriate care must be taken to pluck out just the ideal thing.
Fortunately, the internet was chock full of baby boy birth announcements, and so there was an adequate range to please even the most demanding consumer, such as myself.
Yet, after hours and hours at the computer, I could not find quite the ideal baby boy announcements. A lot of them had that perfect cutesy cheerful letters, some of them even imprinted, and they had those adorable pictures of little boys in indigo diapers playing with kitties and balloons, but none of these letters seemed to convey the full degree of my emotions, although they did come close.
I had thought that I would have to compromise and settle for some second rate baby boy announcements, when I saw it the flawless one.
On the surface, the baby boy announcement was much like all of the others. Like most of the baby boy announcements available, it had the same lively writing, the same pale blues and purples, the same adorable little thing sucking his thumb.
To tell you the truth, what made this one different from all of the other baby boy announcements was the look in the eyes of the cat he was playing with. Of all of the baby boy announcements, this was the only one where the cat was looking direct out at whoever was holding the card, and the pleasing look in its catlike eyes completely charmed me.
