Back to Stones...

Dear Nicky,

This morning, after tearing you away from the contemplative enjoyment of your piece of toast and torturing you with your now daily nasal suctioning, I sent you off to school again.  For the rest of the day until your return I would be handling Junie, who today had a cough that no doubt will pass on to you, that precluded her from going to her little preschool thing this morning.  So she was a little handful.  Then you came home and it was such a delight to see you again, and you seemed so happy to see me.  Your communication notebook said you had a fantastic first day back.  I guess you were glad to see all your friends again and get back into your routine.  For the rest of the afternoon we hung out, then I made you a steak dinner, which you really loved.  For dessert you had a banana, then Mom came home and she put you to bed.

Love,

Dad
