A Visit From Lauren

On Saturday, Nick had a big surprise. In the morning, when mommy took Nick to AHRC to play, mommy told Nick that when he came home Lauren was coming to visit!

When Nick came out of the house and saw Lauren he had a big smile on his face. Lauren was so surprised that Nick was so big - and she was also surprised that Nick has a deeper voice!

We all went to Billy's Beach Cafe for dinner. At first Nick was quiet but then he got silly and loud.


When we were done with dinner we went for ice cream.



Then we walked on the boardwalk.

Lauren talked about the times when she used to walk with little Nick on the boardwalk. Mommy looked on the computer and found one of those old pictures.

Mommy and Nick looked at the pictures the next day. Mommy said, "you are a lucky boy to have friends who love you so much."

Dr. Lauren

On Sunday we did something different. Mommy, Daddy and Nick put on nice clothes and went to the Ocean Club. We went to a party for Lauren. All of Lauren's friends were there to celebrate her graduation, and Nick went too. Nick helped mommy make a big card with a picture and stickers to give as a present.

Nick looked handsome in his blue shirt and blue pants. We walked into the room and Lauren gave Nick a big hug.

There were lots of people there who knew Nick. Girls gave him big hugs and guys gave him high fives! Nick even danced on the floor with Lauren and daddy and he sat at the bar and drank water from a big cup.

Nick also did good sitting at the table. There was lots of food for Nick to eat. He ate cucumber, grilled cheese sandwich, pineapple and strawberry.

There was a big door leading outside to the beach. Nick loved playing in the sand and was running back and forth on the beach.


Now that Lauren is a doctor she can't take care of Nick anymore. She is going to work at a hospital far away. We will miss her very much.

Everyone was so proud that Nick was a good boy at the party.
