Great progress...

Dear Nicky,

The day after your PT was saying we should help you move into four-point and then backward into sitting, you go and do it by yourself. In the last few weeks your gross motor skills have really moved to another level after having being plateaued for a dispiritingly long time. It's really been amazing, the progress you've made and continue to make. We look forward together with renewed excitement and expectation to see what's going to happen tomorrow, what you're going to do next. The only thing that's never improved, unfortunately, has been your napping ability. That's been the same since day one: you get tired, you go down for a little nap, you can't make the transition to deeper sleep, so you wake and cry. At least you sleep pretty well at night. But, oh, my boy, if you slept like your sister sleeps during the day, four to six hours, in addition to sleeping at night, you'd be a foot taller. Give it a try, won't you?

Love,
Dad
