Gosh, just gosh...
Dear Nicky,
Okay, so yesterday I was too tired to write anything, and I think the same goes for Sunday night. I've been getting up early lately, and going to sleep kind of late, not to mention sleeping poorly when I'm in bed, so I'm frequently crazy-tired, so please bear with me. Anyway, on Sunday I went to Atlantic City, where I had a lot of fun and won a lot of money, which I ended up losing back to the casino. I ended up breaking exactly even. It was the longest I think I've been away from you. It made me realize that a little time apart from even the people you love most in the world is a good thing once in a while. When I was away, Mom had you all to herself for the entire day. This was good for her too; it was a pleasant little confidence booster. She raved and raved about you when I got home. How sunny you were, how well behaved, all that stuff. Granny came over and visited, then Grandpop and Uncle John came over. They were all still here when I got back, and they were all raving about you. Your Aunt Erin is pregnant again, as is your cousin Tara. So is your Aunt Sarah, but you knew that already, I think. Oh, and Mom is pregnant again, too. You should have a little brother or sister by the end of June next year. I'm hoping it's a boy. Because, if he's a boy like his big brother, then he'll be just great, just like you, my one and only firstborn Nick. And, oh yeah, Monday and today were very nice in terms of the weather. We went out for a nice walk on both days after lunch. Man, I gotta tell ya, you can pound that cereal. I put a quarter cup of cereal and a serving of pears and some formula in a bowl and I look at it and say, "No way Nick can eat all that!" But he does, Nick does it, because Nick is full of surprises.
Love,
Dad
