Big crib...

Dear Nicky,

I'm sitting right next to your crib with you in it, right now. Tonight's the first night we're putting you in there, and I'm going to sleep on the floor just to be nearby. You're an excellent nighttime sleeper, so I don't anticipate any problems. And you're getting to be a better daytime sleeper, too. We're letting you cry more when you wake up unintentionally from your naps. Everybody says it's for your own good. It's still tough to do. Anyway, you've outgrown your bassinet, so it's the crib for you from now on. You outgrew your bassinet so fast, I'm sure you'll do the same for this crib, though hopefully not too fast. We just bought it not too long ago, and we wouldn't want you growing at a weirdly fast rate, like some kind of baby Jethro Bodine!

Love,
Dad
