Tiny hiney studebaker -

Sup girl? How ya doin? Friday here on Lenox Road and I’m in the bedroom working. You and mom are out in the living room, and I’m pretty sure you’re catching your mid morning nap. You do this really fun thing now where you wake up at 4am for about 30-45 mins, wide awake. Then you finally go back to sleep and wake up again at 7:30-8. And then once you’ve had some food and a bottle you knock back out for a nap around 10. Would be AWESOME if maybe you could skip the 4am wake up. I know I’m talking to future you but these are present-day issues.

Other than sleeping challenges, over the past few days you’ve started to get really frustrated when we take things away from you or tell you no. I have a feeling this will be a recurring theme for the next few years.

Last night after I got done working I ran to the grocery store for some stuff and came back and we played in your room for about a half hour. I love spending time with you. So much fun to see what toys you want to play with and where you want to go. I enjoy watching you make decisions.

After that we got on a video call with Aunt Jane, Uncle Joe, Brian and Andrew. Gave them a tour of the apartment and caught up on life a bit. Everyone up there is doing well, just working. Kristen is trying to navigate raising 3 kids and teaching virtually. I can’t wait for you to meet her kids - Sophie, Lucas and Charlotte. I think you and Charlotte are going to get along great. Two wild and crazy girls.

As for the world at large, woke up today to find out that Trump and the First Lady have tested positive for COVID-19. He’s 74 and obese so that puts him in the high risk category. Honestly, I don’t know if I believe that he has it. Seems like a perfectly Donald stunt to “beat the China virus” and reinvigorate his core fans. We shall see.

Alright bumpy butt, over and out like a big fat trout. Have fun at Grandma and Grandpa’s today.

Love you big time,

Dad
