Boosted activity...

Dear Nicky,

Recently, we began something called a brushing protocol with you. Basically this involves firmly brushing your arms, back, and legs with a soft plastic brush. You seem indifferent to it, quite frankly, but I think we might be seeing an increase in your sensitivity and desire to explore with your hands. Optimally, you receive this brushing twice a day, followed by joint compressions, which I'm sure you know quite well. Now, I don't know if it's the brushing, or the new glasses, or the two together, but you're quite active in newer, good ways, and less active in less desirable ways. Shelby came today, and we all got quite messy trying to eat toast with jam. Then Edna came and watched you while I ran around doing errands and getting ingredients for making a spinach shrimp dip for Mom to take to a Stones Candlelighters meeting. After Edna left, I fed you a nice big dinner, and we played together for a while before you finally went to sleep.

Love,
Dad
