What a nice day...

Dear Nicky,

Outside it was awful all day, cold and foggy and damp. Sorry, but I wasn't going to go out into it if I didn't have to. Inside, however, it was Sunny Nick all day long. We did quite a bit of therapy on our own, which worked you out well it seemed. Around noon or so, after watching a Baby Einstein video, which made you sit upright in your bouncy seat the whole time, I put you in your crib, ostensibly for a few minutes so I could have my own lunch. After a minute or two I realized you were pretty quiet, so I checked on you and found you sound asleep. It was beautiful. No fuss, no whining, no exhausting Nicky-go-sleep dances, just you out like a light all by yourself. And you slept like that for about two hours and woke up cheerful as a Scottish earl in a field of bagpipes. We had a lot of laughs, tickling and rolling around and such. And, by golly, you sure seemed to eat a lot today, too. You really are a growing boy!

Love,
Dad
