Mom's home...

Dear Nicky,

Mom's back. Yippee! I woke up this morning at 3, unable to sleep with the pain in my throat. I think it's a combination strep, cold, ear infection. It's too bad, too, since both of you slept like angels last night. I gave you guys a bath this morning and managed quite well. You guys had an okay breakfast and lunch, but now that Mom's here I have to get in bed for a little while because I've had the chills all day and I need to warm up. You guys still have runny noses but no fevers or sore throats. If you guys felt like me, no wonder you were miserable. It's just taking me a little longer to get over it, is all. Please sleep well tonight, too, okay, buddy?

Love,
Dad
