Amy quickly followed up with another video generously sharing the moment that Dale found out he was about to be the .
Off camera you can hear Amy coaxing her husband to read Isla's tee shirt. Dale walks closer to where his daughter is just out of the camera frame, and he reads, "super, amazing, sister."
