A small triumph...

Dear Nicky,

I finally got you into your snowsuit this afternoon. You see, up till now, you really, really resisted and I would stop because I didn't want to force it. But today, you only complained a little, so in you went at last! It was the high point of my day! Shelby came over this morning, and we gave her a Christmas card. She called from the road to thank us. Anyway, when we got your suit on, we went to the post office to mail three more cards, to Dr. Solo, Kathleen our service coordinator, and to our old friend, Desiree, who helped us an awful lot in the very scary early days. You hadn't been out in a few days because it's been so cold, but with your new suit finally on, you were quite toasty warm. Hurray!

Love,
Dad
