Dear Self,
Please be reminded that your sweet, sweet almost 11-month old baby girl can't help that she is waking up several times a night - she has a few (2 or 3) new teeth busting through her gums. If this was happening to you, you too would be upset and need condolences while being rocked back to sleep. Just because you are losing a few hours (yes, hours) of sleep each night means nothing. You can take a nap some other time.
Please be reminded that your adorable little 2.5-year old Abbu is very conscientious about things that don't fit right, things that are messed up, and things that just aren't the right way (or rather her way). She is very particular. You should not be surprised in the least that she is having meltdowns at bedtime due to her 'jammies just not fitting right. You should have seen this coming. You should have done something about it before now.
Please be reminded that your handsome & funny little boy is still only 4-years old. Although he is such a huge helper to you when it comes to all things, he doesn't always listen the first time when it comes to instructions. Surely part of that is because he has a great imagination and is constantly playing and doing. After all... he is still only a preschooler.
Self... please be reminded to take an extra breath when frustrated; breath a little deeper when at your wits end; and say an extra prayer to God thanking him for the three little blessings that you and Brian have.
Lots of love,
Mama Heck
