What we did today...

Dear Nicky,

I don't think your PT Pat at Stepping Stones likes me too much. I think she thinks I'm overprotective, but maybe I'm just being too sensitive. Everybody loves you, though. One of the moms there thinks you're really cute, as does everybody who works with you. I fed you some pears during speech therapy. You pounded them, what else? Afterward, we gassed up the car and went to Target. You were asleep for part of the time there, but then you woke up. You were entirely cooperative and pleasant and sunny and patient. We got some Christmas stuff and some baby food. As far as Christmas stuff goes, we got a little tree (prelit), some ornaments, and some wrapping paper. As for food, we got a bunch of different stuff and lots of it. Your new PT came over today. He's a nice guy who seems enthusiastic and knowledgeable. You two got along very well, and he seemed happy to be working with us. I'm happy we got a new PT after, what, over a month without one? He worked you out quite well. Afterward you fell right asleep. You just conked right out till Mom came home. Then you got some more formula, a couple solids, and another helping of turkey meat, which you first tried last night and couldn't much stomach. Same story tonight, but a little more tolerance on your part. One day at a time, pal.

Love,
Dad
