That would be great! (about the album)

Lately, Nic has been slugging me when he gets really really mad. Last night

he did-4 times. He wouldn't get into bed so I did the 1-2-3 thing and he

didn't budge. He USUALLY moves on 2. I told him I was going to help him. I

picked him up from behind, under his arms and he swung around and gave me 4

good shots. He's getting so strong, I'm not sure what to do. I can't have

him doing this the older he gets.
