A warm December...

Dear Nicky,

Today was December 1st. It's supposed to be really cold this time of year, but instead it was ridiculously warm. It was cloudy and dark all day, a good day for sleeping. This morning Mom took you to Music Together while I stayed home with your sister. Then you guys came back, Mom had some errands, and I gave you some yogurt and you went to sleep for some time, a couple hours at least. You've really gotten the whole prone-up-to-sitting thing down effortless now. It's just amazing. You do it like you've been doing it all your life, but it's only been a week. We were going to go over to some people's house for dinner, all four of us. Mom wasn't really thinking when she accepted the invitation. You and June are pretty much done for the day after 4:30, and it would've have been hard on everyone, especially when June screams her head off when she wants to go to sleep. Also, there were tornado advisories and high winds, and it didn't seem like such a good idea to go out at all. So we bagged it, put June to bed, and fed you some lentils for dinner, which you loved. It was better this way.

Love,
Dad
