Hey, let's catch up...
Dear Nicky,
Hi pal, sorry I was too tired the last couple nights to say anything. Earlier this week I was up really late fixing my iBook--which works great again, by the way--and the last couple nights I've just been up late in general. I know I should go to bed earlier but sometimes I just like the quiet time you can only get late at night.
Anyhoo, today was a Saturday, which means yardwork. Today and last week were kind of long yardwork days, four hours each of mowing and maintaining, etc. Usually, they're not that long. You guys ate pretty well, then we went to Borders, where you both kind of fussed a lot, then we went to this dump of a farm store where Mom thought she was going to find some good veggies, but we found nothing of the sort. Since you and your sister didn't take afternoon naps, you ate and went to bed early.
Yesterday, Mom took you for your hearing check, where you did excellently. It seems your hearing is just great, although the doc thinks a tube might be slightly blocked by earwax. He says he's not worried at all about it, as apparently these things happen all the time, so I guess we're all good. It sure is nice that your hearing isn't just okay; it's great.
On Thursday, Mom took you to Stones, where you did really well and stayed happy and engaged the whole time. That makes me a little jealous, since sometimes you don't so well with me, but you do well often enough, so don't worry. You came home and took a nap, then worked with your speech therapist, who won't be around for the next two sessions, so you get a mini-break from her. Lately, I hang out in the other room while you work. It seems to provide less of a distraction to you, which enables you to concentrate more on working with her, which you've done impressively well with the last few times.
Okay, so I think we're all caught up. Tomorrow may bring a trip to the pool; we'll see. We depend on a number of factors, like the weather and whether you kids cooperate. Such is life.
Love,
Dad
