DECISIONS

44

I woke up and see three shirts on my bed.

My auntie Jane has come through again. I get up and run to my aunties room. I knock on the door and auntie Sam opens it.
-Morning Nick is Auntie Jane up? Yes, but she is taking a shower. Okay, well tell her thanks for the hook up. I will. You better go take a bath so you can be ready for the game. You are leaving here at ten. The game starts at eleven. Its 8.30 now. Okay Sam thank you.
Nick gives me a hug. I pick him up, kiss him and put him back down.
- Sam I am red. You like me red. Of course, I do. Now get your mom up. Okie dokie. Nick we need to come up with another phrase than okie dokie. okay. Mama wake up. I am already up. I am glad you didn't try taking the bath by yourself again. No, I learned.
I get Nick all cleaned up.He decided to

Jane of course took a photo and sent it to her brothers and the aunties.
-Auntie JANE I am going to be famous soon if you keep taking all these photos of me. Nick you are famous to me and that is all that counts. You are silly auntie but love you still. Cheryl takes a picture of Nick and I.
Cheryl I want two of those in a black frame. One for the family room by the stairs and one in my office. Auntie can we finish eating and go? Yes.
We all chuckle. Nick gives my wife and his mother a hug and kiss good bye. I buckle him up in his car seat in my lexus and head off to the ball park to meet my brothers. They are waiting for us at the VIP entrance because I have the tickets that Maura gave me.
-Aye little buddy you look sharp. Nice shirt we have it too but I will print them for Frankie and I and we will put them up with the other family pics. We headed in and Nick loved the game but liked Ortiz like Frankie. I got on my cell and ordered a signed ball and a bobble head for his birthday. Our team won against the twins. Nick had more than his share of hot dogs, soda and water. I don't see him wanting to eat dinner. We left.
-Did you enjoy your first mlb game? Yes, please call aunt Maur. Auntie Maur I had fun at the game and ate like a pig too. Thank you for the tickets. I cannot wait for more games. Nick I am glad you had fun and enjoyed it. We love the photo of you. We printed them out. I put one up in the family room already and Deb is going to take hers for her office. I hope you don't get into trouble eating too much junk food with Jane. No, I only had one icecream but three hot dogs. I don't think I will eat dinner. My mama might not like that. As long as you don't get sick once in awhile missing dinner won't hurt you buddy. Okay, auntie tell Deb little buddy says I love her too. Will do.
JANE he seems happy. I can barely talk as usual. The only time we don't have to listen to you. Just kidding. ttyl. bye.
We arrive at home and as soon as I removed his buckle. Nick was out and banging on the front door before the garage was down.
-Sweetie I guess you had lots of fun with your aunt and uncles. Yes, I like ortiz out of the players.
I give my wife a look and she giggles. She had an idea what I had done. Nick and I fell asleep in the family room after seeing our photo. Sam put it up after she printed it and bought a frame for it.

Cheryl I know Jane will eat a little but doubt Nick will be hungry. They pig out at the games. I am glad he had fun at least. Look at those smiles on both of their faces. He continues to have fun with you all. I know I am forever telling you all this but thank you. Cheryl its okay. As long as he feels love and we keep him safe and you is all that matters to us. I am going to go in my office to do some work. SAM I am going to take Prince for a walk while they sleep.
I open my emails and see Caitlyn's. I start addressing all the invitations and call for a courier to pick them up and have them to be delivered today. I see a response from amazon. Your item will be delivered tomorrow by 7 pm. I opened it and see Jane's order.

Well at least my wife didn't go over board as I thought she would. She did listen to Cheryl after all. His birthday party on Saturday is naval theme as he wanted.
