First day of the new school year...

Dear Nicky,

I wasn't home in the afternoon to receive you, but this morning I sent you off to school. You were a little reluctant to go, but I think you quickly got back into the swing of things, and noted in your communication handbook was how well you did and how happy you seemed over the course of your first day back in school. When I did get home, I found you bright and in the best of spirits, and the three of us had many laughs in the early evening. Then I had to return something to Target--a new Spongebob sippy cup whose packaging was so mutilated I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed when I bought it. When I got back you were sound asleep.

Love,
Dad
