Mellow day...

Dear Nicky,

Today Shelby came over and worked on you. She's in the middle of changing companies so there's probably some paperwork that's going to need to be done to deal with the ridiculous bureaucracy that is Early Intervention. On the plus side, she might be doing your developmental intervention, which is a good thing if she's good at it. We'll see. Mom was a little sad today because she felt snubbed by Aunt Erin, who was going to go into the city while Granny babysat your two cousins, but Granny was sick, so the kids went with Aunt Erin, who couldn't find parking and didn't have a good time. This made Mom happy. This is called schadenfreud, and it's a real part of the world. I got a new cell phone, with a much better integrated camera, and I also went and got a massage for the first time in a year or two. While I was gone, Mom took you out to some places and apparently everyone who saw you thought you were insanely cute. I think that's about right.

Love,
Dad
