A break from Stepping Stones...

Dear Nicky,

You're okay, at least that's what they seem to think at the doctor's office we went to this morning. Mom and I have been a little worried lately: you have an infrequent cough and your voice is hoarse and it sounds like it hurts when you cry. The doctor checked you over, though, and said all the major stuff was fine. She was a little in too much of a rush in my opinion, but whatever. Also, today was the last of the Stepping Stones summer session. You get a break till after Labor Day. At that point we go back twice a week and an hour earlier. That's okay, but I just hope the traffic stays good. This morning we arrived almost twenty minutes early despite a late start because I forgot your car seat and we had to come back upstairs for it. It'll be nice to have a break from going out there for a while, but that doesn't mean you're going to get a break, buddy. You're still going to be getting those ol' workouts.

Love,
Dad
