My dear sweet, too cute for words, #6,
Sweet boy, I love you, and I know that you are moderately fond of me as well.\u00a0 In the time that you have known me, which really is the whole of your life, have you ever known me to not need sleep?\u00a0 I ask this because you seem to have decided to give sleep up for Lent.\u00a0 While I applaud your willingness to sacrifice during this penitential season, perhaps giving up sleep may not be your most prudent option.<\/p>\n
My beloved one, I tried to discuss this with you at midnight when you decided a snack might be a good idea.\u00a0 I brought it up again at 1:30 when the sight of my sleeping face brought you to squeals of laughter.\u00a0 I love you, too.\u00a0 I\u2019m tired.\u00a0 I tried to reason this out with you at 2:45 and 3:30, and thought I might have gotten through, but your joy at 4:45 is close to inhuman.<\/p>\n
I bring this to your attention because, as you may recall, I got sick this weekend.\u00a0 Dr Google says extreme tiredness is a major contributing factor.\u00a0 You food supply is in jeopardy here, Bubba.\u00a0 It would be in your own best interest if I were well rested.\u00a0 If you only decide to sleep for selfish reasons, that\u2019s okay with me.\u00a0 Really. <\/p>\n
How about you try this for tonight\u2026we\u2019ll both sleep, the whole night through, and in the morning we\u2019ll both sing that silly song you like and dance around my bedroom with the hoppy little dance that makes us both laugh.\u00a0 We\u2019ll find something else for you to give up for Lent.<\/p>\n
Love always and forever,
your Mom<\/p>\n
P.S.\u00a0 You grandma says we should move your crib downstairs where I can\u2019t hear you.\u00a0 At first, I thought she was a loony, but as the days go on she\u2019s beginning to look like the wisest woman who ever lived.\u00a0 Trust me, neither of us want it to get to that point, we can\u2019t let Grandma be right.\u00a0 Just once I\u2019d like to be smarter.\u00a0 You can help.\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 xxoo, Me<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
