Our friend Edna...

Dear Nicky,

This morning you were just okay with Shelby. You were off your game because you didn't nap. Toward the end of the session it looked like you were trying to drink from the straw like we want you to. This will take some time. Shelby's a sweetheart; she offered to watch you if Mom and I ever needed her. You ate your lunch well, at least. Then at 1:00 our new friend Edna came over. She's going to be a semiregular sitter for you on Wednesday afternoons. When she came over I took a shower while she took care of you. Then I went to Walmart and found some of those straw cups Shelby's talking about. Then I went to Target because why not? But I forgot to get Mom Splenda and me some Choxie candy. When I got home you and Edna were out for a walk. You hadn't taken a bottle at all since 12:30, so I was able to quickly get six ounces into you while you smiled and flirted with Edna. Boy, you really took a shine to her! Shortly, I gave you your dinner while I explained the therapy spoon technique. Mom came home; Edna left; then Mom left to go do some volunteer thing at Stepping Stones. She's still not back yet. Man is she going to be tired. But I'm really happy you took to Edna so well. She seems to adore you too. See, it's because you're so darn goodlooking and charming, people are blown away.

Love,
Dad
