Just the two of us, Day One...

Dear Nicky,

Today was Mom's first day back at work and our first full day alone together (you and I). It wasn't so hard because you made it easy. You ate well, worked out well, napped a little, and in general were pretty amazing. You cried a little, but not too badly. When Mom came home she was a little stressed from her first day back in the office. I think she was disappointed that there weren't that many people in her office to welcome her back, due to business travel and vacations. Just between you and me, I think when she came home she was a little disappointed in how well we got along today. That's understandable, of course, everybody loves to feel wanted. And of course we missed her. She's the champion of both of us, and she's as protective as a mama tiger with her family.

Love,
Dad
