Turned a corner...

Dear Nicky,

Well, my friend, looks like the dam has finally burst and you're taking some real steps on your own. Mom told me about it yesterday while I was still in New Hampshire after escorting them up there. Today I saw it with my own eyes. A number of times today you took several steps, maintained your balance, and controlled your descent to the floor. The time has finally come. I guess you were just practicing in secret or unwilling to do it unless you could do it perfectly. I am just so happy this day has come at last. With your phenomenal learning curve you'll soon be doing it flawlessly.

Love,
Dad
