Mom's birthday...

Dear Nicky,

Today was Mom's birthday, but she had to go in to work. We kept you home from school today because you had such a rough night and kept waking up. Why, I alone have been awake since 3:30 this morning. When your nanny arrived I took you to the docs and luckily they were able to see you right away. And the verdict is: ear infection! So I gave you some Omnicef, then later Laurie your other nanny came over and fed and put you guys to bed while Mom and I went and had a nice dinner. We made it home just before a massive thunderstorm that will hopefully end this heat wave we've been having.

Love,
Dad
