I understand that you are a growing baby with many, many needs. Your mommy is more than willing to fulfill those needs and some most of your wants, too. However, can we discuss this new issue you seem to have with sleeping through the night? Again, I realize that you’re a growing baby and that you need nutrition frequently.
I am more than happy to provide this nutrition at 2:00 am even. (Okay, maybe not “more than happy”, but I can deal with it.) I understand that it’s likely you’re going through a growth spurt of some sort and genuinely need a little nursing to see you through the rest of the night. However, where you and I are parting ways in our beliefs about appropriate baby behavior is the point at which you decide 2:00 am is a good time to play with Mommy and Daddy. We realize that you love us and that you want to spend time with us. We love you and want to spend time with you, too.
However, you little ball of baby perfection, do you think you could move that bonding time to a more appropriate hour? Say, 9:00 am? Okay. 9:00 am might be a shade unreasonable on my part. What say you to 7:00 am? Could that work? Your parents would be appreciative. We would also be less likely to look and act like zombies just recently arisen from the dead. I know we’re not much fun when we seem like we might eat each other’s faces, so this later wake-up time would be beneficial to you, too.
With lots of love and hugs and kisses,
Your mommy (yes, I know it’s hard to recognize me with the luggage under my eyes, but it really is me)
