Supersuit...

Dear Nicky,

Forgive me for the past few posts when I've been too tired to say much. Sometimes the day gets away from me, and at the end I'm falling asleep at my keyboard. It is October 1st today. The days are cooler and shorter, and the sun is lower in the sky and casts a glaring light without a lot of heat. Fall is my least favorite season. But one good thing about fall is that in October we have Halloween. We recently received your Halloween costume, a Superman suit. It looks really good. It's made out of fleece so it's nice and warm, and it comes with a cape. We washed the suit but not the cape, because the cape has the Superman emblem glued on rather than sewn on, and it would probably come off or otherwise get wrecked in the wash. Not much else is going on. It was a pretty uneventful day, I suppose. The combination of teething and solid food seems to be messing up your formula intake, which is expected but no less worrisome, I'm afraid. Tomorrow, Mom and I are going to look at houses again, but this time we're going to drop you off at Granny's first. That way we don't tire you out, and ourselves, by toting you into these strange, sometimes crowded little houses that people want to sell for so much money. Good luck at Granny's, pal.

Love,
Dad
