Dear Daddy,
Last night I got up at 2am. Mommy almost cried because she was just so tired.
Thankfully, I slept in till 8 at least. Then it was fuss city from there on out. I didn't want to do anything. So mommy tried everything... taking my jammies off, watching different shows, putting me in my chair... it was a really long morning. Mommy even said forget it on the shower (good thing, it was yucky out today anyway).
This afternoon I fell asleep on mommy. She's usually not too fond of that because she doesn't want me getting used to having to sleep on her, that's a bad habit-but today she didn't really care and ended up sliding us down (I was using her legs like a boppy pillow) and we both rested. Mommy didn't get to nap like she would have liked to because I was really restless, and I woke up absolutely screaming a couple of times, but we tried to rest nonetheless.
Then mommy met one of her friends for coffee, and then we walked around the mall for a little bit. Mommy got me my very first pair of jellies-from Payless-and a little pair of tennies too.
When we got back home, I snoozed... hard, and after about an hour mommy decided that I really needed to get up and on with my nightly routine. So she made me a bottle, got me up... and well I still wanted to sleep. So after I drank a good bit she sat me up to talk to me... boy, was I all smiles... then I would nod off. Smile... and nod off at the same time. Thankfully the camera was right next to mommy so she got some of my silly expressions... it had her laughing really hard, and I thought it was pretty funny too.

Then to really wake me up, I had you know what time and then a bath. Mommy was scared-she thought I was about to poo in the tub (since I didn't go today), but it was me just being unladylike. We hurried after that anyway, because mommy wouldn't have known what to do. After a bath, I am starting to get better about just being in my towel and not freaking out. I guess I don't get as cold.
After that we cuddled for a bit, and then mommy topped me off with a little 3 ounce bottle (hoping it will make me sleep a little better tonight) and then I went to bed.
That's the part mommy doesn't get-I go to bed SO good. Very rarely do I fuss anymore, and when I do its only for a couple of minutes and then I am out. If only I can relearn how to STAY asleep at night...I love you, daddy, and I can't wait to see you.
Love, Maya
