Reluctant Fame
My head is spinning. I just answered a phone call from The Ellen Degeneres show asking permission to show the video of Will at the World Series parade on their show. Then I turned on the computer and found an email from Good Morning America asking to use the video and for a possible live appearance. I also had an email from Comcast Sportsnet asking if they could show the video too.
In an email this morning Sean wrote:
Lots of people have left comments related to the video. While most are funny some have commented that this is how Hitler got his start, or he's a little Hitler. Those comments really rattled Sean. I don't see harm in the comments, free speech being what it is, though I'm not fond of thinking of my son and Hitler in the same breath."I’m amazed, fascinated and even a little scared. So for a few days, I checked & thought ok, this is cool, but I’m sure it’s going to die down soon, but it just keeps ballooning."
I had no idea when I shot that video that it would become such a sensation. It just furthers my observations that children and dogs always take all the attention in a gathering. Kids do funny things like this every day! So my life is never dull and I am immensely blessed to have Will and all his harmless antics to remind me not to be so serious.

Heather, I had showed the video to a couple of my co-workers because it was so cute - this morning my boss came and said she had seen it on GMA! I can't believe people would make a Hitler reference - I can see why that would rattle your husband.
I think you're wise to be thankful for your beautiful little boy and the lessons the Lord impresses upon you as you faithfully care for him. You're so right that things like this remind us not to take ourselves so seriously!
