Interviews...
Dear Nicky,
I forgot to tell you yesterday that we interviewed a potential babysitter for you. Her name was Edna. She was a very nice young girl from Queens, originally from Colombia, who's going to school to become a speech pathologist. Mom called one of her references, who raved about her. Apparently, in the past she took care of triplets, one of whom had autism. So she's battle-tested, that's for sure. Also today, we spoke to a lady who runs a sort of babysitting dispatch service. She came over, along with her eight-year-old son ironically enough, and told us a little bit about her service, which seems pretty cool. If we ever need a sitter, we can just give twelve hours' notice and she provides one from a large pool of them, plus she's registered and bonded. The funny thing is, while the idea of going out and doing stuff sounds appealing, I actually don't see that much fun in doing stuff or going places with out you, my little friend. Maybe the gym or the doctor's office once in a while, but for the most part I like being with you just about all the time. Convenient that I'm you're father, right?
Love,
Dad

I know the feeling...I have three kiddos, the youngest was born with Down Syndrome. It took me a long time to go out alone. I still will call and check in, but it is nice to be "free" every so often. My favorite ten minutes is running to get coffee in the morning...alone. Coming home and seeing the looks on my kids faces that I'd come hom eis priceless.
