2010... wowee! We are wishing you all a fantastic new year. No matter how arbitrary the turning of the year may seem, it still carries a hefty symbolic value. One that is, naturally, still not clear to Nicky, but certainly is to his Mommy and Daddy.
We feel a certain relief with the tumults and transitions of 2009 behind us, and an eager anticipation of the possibilities of 2010.
Nicky has been a little under the weather the past two days, suffering from a reaction to his DtaP vaccine, with a lot of pain in his leg ("Doi doi") and an elevated fever. Today he is doing much better, and his fever seems to be gone. He did wake up this morning terrified of his pillow, shaking with fear-- the first time I have seen him really scared. Poor guy! Luckily he has his new kitten, Mimi, to comfort him! Pictures soon!
We are so excited to see how Nicky will grow and change in 2010. He will turn 2! He will accompany Mommy to her graduation from Cornell (again, though this time in fancier garb!). Surely he will begin speaking more complex phrases, and maybe he will learn to write and draw more clearly. Whatever he does, it doesn't much matter, except for how it helps him express who he is-- our beloved baby boy, sweet, curious, and much adored.
