Squawk...!

Dear Nicky,

Last night I went to sleep too early and I woke up in the middle of the night, unable to go back to sleep. Consequently I was a little tired today. You did great at Stepping Stones, as usual, but the thing about being there is that you sleep on the way out, have a bottle afterward, then sleep on the way back, and all this sort of messes up your schedule. Also, you got to be having some teeth coming out soon because you were especially fussy today. I wish you'd nap more, but that's probably my fault, since I must not be making things as conducive for you to sleep as possible. I don't know, pal. Bear with me; I'm just blundering through this life trying to do the best I can for the greatest little boy I've ever known.

Love,
Dad
