The mail carriers in our neighborhoods are almost considered family in some neighborhoods. That is also the case for Mailman Mike who organized a truck parade for a toddler in the neighborhood he covers.
We had to talk about this for our Cup o’ Joy story cause it was THAT cute.
You can see the video RIGHT HERE!
Where Did This Truck Parade Happen?
Simsbury, Connecticut, toddler Colby Bergman turned two earlier this week, but a few days before that, he got a birthday surprise that was “beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” according to his mom, Jessica Bergman. Local mail carrier, affectionately known as “Mailman Mike,” who Colby regards as a “hero,” rallied the community to celebrate the toddler’s second birthday in grand style.
This story was originally reported by our friends at Today.
Who Participated In The Truck Parade?
For the big day, a parade of community vehicles including Mailman Mike’s truck, fire trucks, garbage trucks, a police car, and of course, more mail trucks drove by the Bergman’s house. And if that wasn’t already enough, Colby was presented with a customized mini replica of the USPS trucks he adores that he can drive around his yard. The birthday boy also received a certificate making him an honorary letter carrier.
Bergman posted a video of the celebration on TikTok, that’s since been viewed over 3.8-million times and received thousands of likes and comments. Colby’s mom was “blown away” by the support and had nothing but praise for Mailman Mike, thanking him for all he does for their community. But it was one TikToker who may have said it best, commenting that, “Mailman Mike has a heart of gold!”

Take a look at this video to learn a little more about his day.
Robot Baby For Students
Thanks to our friends at Collegium Charter School, we were able to secure a robot baby for Jeff to practice on before his baby comes around August 4th. Jeff and Emily are expecting their first baby and it’s going to be a GIRL.
Watch when the rest of The Andie Summers Show found out about the gender reveal.

Jeff’s Daddy Diary
Hey guys, it’s Jeff. And this is my first Daddy Diary entry for my first day with baby Maybe. I met the baby at 8:30am and all things seemed well and good. Brought her along with me to Turnersville, NJ for our Baby Buggy stop at Nifty Fiftys.
I got a stare from the nice gentleman at the gas pump in Jersey who probably thought I was insane with a fake baby in a car seat but it is what it is!!
The event went great and so many XTU Nation members getting to meet the Maybe Baby and take pictures with her; you can see those below. Thankfully, on the ride there (about 45mins) and the ride back to our house in Skippack (about an hour and five mins) the baby didn’t cry once.
When I got home, I had a lot of yard work to do so Emily, my wife, took care of the baby who didn’t even make a peep. Then it got weird. We interviewed a potential nanny for our baby McKinley coming in August, whilst I was holding the Maybe Baby.
We explained why we were doing it but I’m sure she was still weirded out.
Night time was by far the worst. Going to bed at 9:30pm, the baby work up six times in the span of an hour to either be fed, burped, given attention or changed. Then again at midnight, 1am and 3am before my 3:45am alarm went off for work.
I have gained so much more respect for parents after just ONE night with this little baby. I have been humbled for sure and now have just the smallest hint as to what is going to change next month for me and my little family.
Check out the photos of our day below and the video recap here.
