Early to bed...

Dear Nicky,

This afternoon as I was working in the garage, you didn't nap at all, nor did your sister, so Mom eventually took you guys to the park and then to Whole Foods.  When I finally finished in the garage I took a shower, then you guys came home about half an hour later.  You were sound asleep.  We put you to bed for what we thought would be a brief nap, then tried to wake you about an hour later in order to go get an early dinner.  We got you into the car, where you fussed and writhed till you were asleep again.  We decided it would be pointless to try and take you to a restaurant, so we simply returned home, defeated, and put you properly to bed.  You fussed and writhed there too for a while, but I snuggled you till you calmed down and conked out.  If you sleep straight through the night till tomorrow, that'd be a really good night's sleep, a rare occurrence for you.

Love,

Dad
