no sitting on the couch with blankets over both of you
can't do that hands need to be in night at all times
I wasn't even thinking about that but okay I know you wouldn't that's
why we don't have to worry about you Alex [Music]
I'm going to see Ally next week for her birthday Ali is my girlfriend that I met
in Spokane over the summer honestly like I really don't really know what to get
her because I mean we're still trying to get to know each other a little bit better
so that's why I brought my siblings along to help me pick out something for Ally is
your favorite color blue blue okay blue what does she like besides farming and pigs she's
like an outdoorsy person she likes stuff for jewelry yes yes what's your budget 100 bucks
100 bucks so out of this girls who is she more like I guess me okay so shop for me
Alex the baby I mean I'm surprised the first convention that you know I decided not to go
to the baby of the family comes home with a woman I mean a woman I thought this chick
was 18 but she's only 15. he brings home a woman and he's happy looking so cute
Emma you look like you're in the fourth grade
you don't want the salad no I mean yeah Ally lives on the farm I don't think she's quite
obsessed with tractors like how I was when I was little I think she just I think she's just more
random because that's what her family does you're a great model out Emma thank you I know I was
and I think she's a medium just because these shrink a little bit that's her next to me
you think okay Ally and I both have the same kind of dwarfism a a chondroplasia
she has two two advertised siblings and and her parents are average size so she's
the only little person in her family yeah and she's super sweet and everything and I
want to get her the right gift does she like silver or gold oh we don't
know like that I don't know that okay what would you rather silver or gold
singing
yeah that's not gonna work right yeah no I'm seeing the month they started dating and then
his birth month how about that oh that's cute that's something she would wear yeah put those
back that's cute I think that's very cute so the first thing I got her was a shirt that has her
initials monogrammed on it and the next thing I got her is this necklace that has both my birth
is it birthstones yes yeah yeah as my my birthstone her birthstone and the month that
we met each other which is July and then the last thing I got her was this little this nice little
keychain thing yeah yeah because she said yeah yeah because she's 16 and she's new drivers I
thought this would be yeah and she likes blue so this would be nice for her keys thank you
[Music]
guys for y'all's help you're welcome we love you
so I was spending the weekend at my girlfriend Ali's house in Dayton
Ohio for her birthday my favorite thing about Ally was her personality she she
is super sweet and like super loving and she's a really great person okay
I've been out to dinner with Ali and her family and that was really fun plus we made some silly
Tick Tock videos [Music] we we wrote it around the farm on her Gator and she took me out on a tractor
ride I got to meet a lot of her family and friends and they all seemed to like me which is good
Allie and I both have like a mutual love attractors but we both prefer different
brand attractors so that's kind of something we like to joke around with so it kind of helps Bond
us a little bit closer all right that was actually Emma's idea to throw one of those
my sisters definitely helped me out a ton with this because if it didn't help me out
I honestly don't know what I would have gotten her you'd have gotten her that tractor book bag
no I would not have but I came in clutch with the necklace that is true I would not deny that
that's that kind of goes to a similar thing you can that's so that's like a necklace that's it's
like the birds like they both have birthstones between I asked you to give a girlfriend
I like the necklace that was one of my favorite ones but but I like all of them let's get you a
Georgia shirt and I thought that one looked best I like that hmm thank you no problem
hello how are you gentlemen welcome to Cotton Avenue Clothiers how are you I'm good how may
I help you today I'm gonna let this big man right here and I'm looking for like a navy suit and they
like a tie to match I'm here suit shopping for my homecoming dance that's coming up around the
corner homecoming's a lot bigger and more fancier now than it was when you're coming up okay um
would you like navy blue or like a lighter blue I'm more of a navy blue more of a navy blue okay
so the things I'm looking for in my suit tonight is like since Ali's dress is blue I kind of want
to go for like a maybe a navy suit and possibly try and find a tie to match her dress now of
course everything that we buy off a rack has to be well we have an alteration shop just
two doors down okay so do you want to come over here to the mirror and see how it looks on you
if anything comes close it I mean if you buy it and then you pay to have half of it taken off
and you want to button that top button for me let's see let me help you
with a suit we're having to not only cut off a lot but also take in like in the back of a suit jacket
sometimes if for us our type of little dwarfism if it's up too high then it sticks out kind of like
a penguin tail oh okay but when it's long enough it lays flat I mean you don't need too long like
that no no no no no that's almost like trench coat yeah I can probably have it cut off yeah
right about right there I think that shoulders look like they fit really good yeah we're having
to make sure the collars are proportionate on a normal sized person it normally tapers and ends
like right here if we weren't if we weren't to adjust a collar it would be like down to here
how does it feel is it possible yeah yeah it's comfortable you got a pocket on the inside for
your call me cards I don't need common cards dad I already have someone coming down I don't
know on that inside breast what's it have common cards Alex goes way back to his very first dance
with some call me cards sometimes when little people that are added average size dance you
can't hear them or you can't talk you can't have a good conversation so you can just whip out one
of your comic card and be like we'll finish this later call me what are you gonna say
I don't need him this year I already have a date yeah if you if if you use call me cards
this year you're you're going to be you're going to be calling Mom and Dad for a ride home exactly
a little bit bigger actually this is going to be a 38 regular so probably have to be taken in
a little bit here on the sides um to get that that doesn't fit better didn't it yeah yeah I
agree another one fit better are you good with the first one or do you like this one better I
think the first one fits me the first one yeah a first one let's get Mom's approval
I think I can approve from myself that once you cut it you can't go back you get it well Mom
can learn to deal with it oh well I feel pretty confident on not needing mom's approval because
it's my suit my homecoming whatever I like I wear so it's it's my opinion mom can just deal with it
[Music]
so cute so pretty
[Music] [Applause] [Music]
so when I saw Ali coming down the stairs my I knocked I had got butterflies in my stomach
because she looked very beautiful thank you thank you so is homecoming tonight I'm going with my
girlfriend Allie from Ohio and Emma's going with her friend Sierra and we're gonna have
a celebration dinner beforehand it feels pretty nice to be like all dressed up at a really nice
restaurant like the mood is set very well I may get the stroganoff because that's like one of my
favorite things here I might get that too can I do without peas you need your vegetables in there's
carrots in other stuff so are y'all excited for the dance tonight yes I'm so excited hopefully
they played good music I like this I can sing to a second dance and yeah yeah yeah I hope they
play good music like music that we're able to dance with like the wobble five six seven eight
so yeah that's that's how you do it
foreign I hear the wobble I just get flashbacks to Spokane I think all the convention dances are
better because I can see on people's heads are you gonna dance with anyone Emma will
be dancing with Sierra yeah probably not everyone else would probably have a date
I'm gonna be watching you we need some time on our own Emma I have to admit besides slow
dancing I am not a very good dancer so hope they're playing what's those song tonight
because it was the song that kind of like made me realize how much I actually loved Ally from
when we first slow danced oh what's the song Beautiful Crazy by Luke Combs yeah so I really
hope it played that because after tonight I really don't know when I'm gonna see her again
do I like anything to drink or any appetizers you wanna do appetizers Wings tossing Thai
chili sauce it's really good y'all want to try those yeah we can try those yeah yeah we'll take
an order of those it's great seeing Alex like happy he found someone and I'm so glad that he
found someone because he is in love I called the kids down this morning to get the lowdown on how
homecoming went these events aren't always the same for us as little people as they are for all
the advertised students the lead up to it is the same we go and we shop for dresses and we you know
get all dolled up and we go out to eat but the actual dance setting is not the same they are
used to dances with 500 little people they are not used to dances with 500 average size people so I
always get nervous and a little anxious to see what their reaction was from it so Ali and her
family left out like got the crack of dawn because I wanted to be up with them obviously so I could
like see Ali often like it's Intel pie and thanks to her parents for coming down yeah I knew they
were gonna get leave super early because the drive is insane it's like almost 10 hours yeah I'm just
super glad she got to come down for my first homecoming but it was definitely hard saying
my door I held back on some tears which was good but let's just say some were shed in
my bedroom what time did you guys get in I left like on ten yeah did everybody enjoy seeing and
meeting Ally yeah all my friends really liked Ali even Mr Simmons liked her too yeah how did
Ali do Ally said she loved it she liked meeting all my friends and everything yeah she liked it
yeah did you have fun yes I did the dance was a lot of fun I got to see everyone get dressed
up looking pretty and then seeing my friends and then seeing Ally and Alice having fun yeah it was
just nice seeing all my friends like outside the classroom environment talking to them introducing
the alley and just having a good time do you guys do lots of dances they did two slow dances
I took a video of them slow dancing you did you did yes I have not seen this yet [Music]
I met you let me see [Music]
so sweet I know it's cheesy to say but like my heart super happy to see
how happy and just like those young love feelings you can really see shine through
Alex's face and his smile I would say it was everything I was looking for
