CURRENT SINGLE: “Lady”
Brett Young and his wife, Taylor, recently announced they are expecting their second child this summer, and it turns out, it was Brett’s 16-month-old daughter Presley who broke the news to him. He had been in New York City to play the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, and when he got home, he told his wife, “I’ll get the baby in the morning so you can sleep a little bit.”
The next morning when Brett went to get Presley, he says, “She had her zip-up sleep sacks that they wear – that every adult wishes they made in adult sizes – she had one of those on. And so when I unzipped her little sleep sack, she was wearing a shirt that said ‘I’M GONNA BE A BIG SISTER.”
The funny part of the story is that Brett almost didn’t know the message was real, because, as he explains, “Taylor had actually made the shirt that she had, like ironed the letters on and stuff. And it got really hot under (Presley’s) sleep sack, and they were starting to peel off.”
A lot of friends and family have given Brett and Taylor a lot of hand-me-down baby clothes, so for a moment he thought, “I wonder, is this real or is this one of those hand-me-downs because the letters seem to be coming off?” But thankfully, he says, “We have little indoor security cameras that you can talk on. And Taylor was like, ‘Read her shirt!’ And I was like, oh, okay.”
The couple had been hoping for more kids, so Brett was excited, and he thought having Presley deliver the news to him was a really cute way to do it.
Brett Young – learning about second baby :57
“We’ve been doing our best to try to alternate mornings with the baby. And so, since she had done two days in a row, I said, ‘I’ll get the baby in the morning so you can sleep a little bit.’ And so, I woke up and went and got Presley, and she had her zip up sleep sacks that they wear – that every adult wishes they made in adult sizes – she had one of those on. And so when I unzipped her little sleep sack, she was wearing a shirt that said I’m gonna be a big sister. It was funny because Taylor had actually made the shirt that she had, like ironed the letters on and stuff. And it got really hot under her sleep sack, and they were starting to peel off. And so for a second, I was like – you know a lot of friends and family have given us like hand-me-down baby clothes – I wonder, is this real or is this one of those hand-me-downs because the letters seem to be coming off. And then, we have little indoor security cameras that you can talk on. And Taylor was like, ‘Read her shirt!’ And I was like, oh, okay. So it was a really cute way to do it, to use Presley to be a part of it, and we were hoping for more kids, so we were really excited.”
