Finally, number 3's

Dear Nicky,

You didn't nap this morning so you were fussy and tired working with your speech therapist, but she was impressed with you nonetheless. You took a nap after she left, then woke up and I gave you some Number 3 baby food, a large amount of spaghetti with beef in meat sauce. You really took to it. It's the first time you ate anything number 3. Many times in the past I tried to get you to eat them, but no luck. But today you wolfed it down. It only makes sense; you've been eating regular raviolli and Spaghetti-O's for a while now, but number 3's are baby-sized. The curtain guy came by this afternoon and finally finished up with everything. I'm goinbg to try to be more regular about the brushings, too, now that things are settling down. You can identify Mom's nose on demand. Most impressive. All in all, a good day.

Love,
Dad
