K, We had an ENT visit today.
Well, I went to work, and mom was supposed to take you to the ENT.
But at about 9 AM, her car wouldn’t start – so I got to go too.
We had you laughing in the doctor’s office.
The long and short of it is that you are getting tubes put in your ears tomorrow at 7 AM!
We have to be at the office by 6.
So tomorrow is going to be a long day.
I will keep you posted.
I’m tired now.
I love you.

H, Sometimes “my sister needs to sleep.”
See, we are having issues getting everyone to take a nap on the weekends.
You simply don’t want to.
And K naps right now at random times.
So in order to get everyone to rest, we usually take a short drive on the weekends
“I don’t wanna rest!” is usually the response you give us.
To fix this, we have started blaming it on K.
We just say:
“No, H. You don’t have to rest. But K needs to rest. So we are just going to take a short drive.”
You have bought our rationale and have started agreeing with us.
You say:
“Yeah, we need to go for a short drive because my sister needs to sleep.”
Ten minutes after we leave, you always fall asleep too.
I still see you as the adorable baby you were a few short years ago.
And sometimes, I see glimmers of you as a 25-year-old.
I love you.

K, I made you cry this morning.
It was the first time I have ever made you cry.
I don’t mean you cried like you got mad I was changing your diaper.
Or you were tired and crying and I was trying to put your pajamas on.
I mean: I made you cry.
We were about to leave for work and school, and I had stopped to talk to you.
You were sitting on my bed, reached for the sunglasses hanging around my neck, and pulled them right off.
Not wanting you to break them, I immediately took them away.
You realized what happened, looked at me, and stated bawling.
My baby.
I am so sorry!
I love you.
-Dad
