We had a good thing going until now. I used to sit on the couch while you were STTN and excitedly wait for your first morning coos so we could play. Now I lay in bed at night with a pillow over my head, hoping that you will miracuosly put yourself back to sleep because you've already woken up 5 times. Please start sleeping again or I don't know how we will get through the holidays. I'll get you a really nice present! </p> <p>Love,<br /> Mommy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1286129 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 10:49:20 +0000 Alivoo01 1286129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: hahahahaha! Poor mommy! Guess we need to put an asterisk next to that statement for a lil disclaimer! My LO might be teething and likes to chomp down on mine or keep it in his mouth while turning his head towards the opposite direction just to look around and stretching my poor nips. *cringe* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1286086 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 10:33:01 +0000 avivoca 1286086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear H,</p> <p>You are the light of my life. But please stop trying to climb out of the Ergo. You are 2.5 months old, and it's a long fall to the floor. Also, it is not the end of the world when your paci falls out of your mouth just as you fall asleep. Banshee screams are fun for no one. You are tired. Accept it and go to sleep. </p> <p>Love,<br /> Mommy</p> <p>P.S. - projectile spit-up at 4 am requiring outfit changes for the both of us is no fun at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1286074 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 10:29:40 +0000 Ra 1286074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear B,</p> <p>Please stop using mommy's nipples as your own personal teething ring. That shit hurts.</p> <p>I'm sorry your little teethies are hurting, but I think you took me a little too literally when I said that I would take all your pain on myself if I could.</p> <p>Love you,</p> <p>Mommy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1286062 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 10:27:18 +0000 Boheme 1286062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear C, </p> <p>Remember that glorious month where you only got up once or twice a night? Didn't it feel good to be rested and have a rested mommy? Let's revisit those days. Please. </p> <p>Love, </p> <p>Mama </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1286040 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 10:21:18 +0000 BlueWolverine 1286040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear A,</p> <p>Please try to eat more of the food I give you. Yes, pouches are lovely and easy and tasty, but broccoli looks like little trees! Food with handles! Yeah! Right? OK, then, what about that cheese tortellini from last night? Carbs! Your favorite! No, it's not a Cheerio or over-priced baby rice cake. </p> <p>Here's your pouch.</p> <p>Love,<br /> Mama </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1286023 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 10:17:08 +0000 NurseMommy 1286023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear A,</p> <p>I understand that you can't talk yet, and you need to communicate your needs to us in some way, but honestly? Mommy prefers crying to this incessant whining!</p> <p>Love,<br /> Mommy</p> <p>Dear Mom,</p> <p>I get it now. I'm so sorry. </p> <p>Love,<br /> S </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1285973 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 10:03:14 +0000 MapleMoose 1285973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear M, </p> <p>Please feel free to take naps during the day. Mommy has a lot to do and you're getting heavy to carry around all day. </p> <p> :heart: ,<br /> Mommy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1285878 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 09:37:46 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1285878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I have a wry sense of humor.

You're giving mommy an ulcer. </p> <p>Hugs and kisses,<br /> Mommy and Daddy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1285822 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 09:19:43 +0000 septca 1285822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear DD -</p> <p>Remember when you used to sleep 7:30-7:30? That was amazing. This new plan to wake up at 6:15 and either immediately go back to sleep until 8:30 or be a cranky mess until naptime is not working for Daddy and me. We treasure our time with you in the mornings. Please start sleeping in just a tiny wee bit more. 7:00 would be brilliant.</p> <p>Love,<br /> Mommy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1285808 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 09:14:25 +0000 Alivoo01 1285808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear C,</p> <p>You're an awesome, easy going kid so I really shouldn't complain, but it'd be nice if you could sleep in longer stretches at night instead of waking up every 1/1.5 hours just for kicks and giggles. I'll even take 4 hour stretches at this point!</p> <p>Love,<br /> Mommy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1285807 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 09:14:14 +0000 Smurfette 1285807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: I laugh at R too, only she falls so much, she falls and crawls off...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1285801 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 09:13:04 +0000 Alivoo01 1285801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: LMAO at your letter to your DD!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1285776 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 09:06:05 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1285776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear DS-</p> <p>I realize it's probably teething (damn two year molars) that's caused this change in your demeanor as well as your sleep at night. And I'm sorry. I really am. But momma is not used to waking up five or six times a night anymore. Your sister only wakes me one or two times a night and she's cutting her fifth tooth. </p> <p>Please please please go back to sleep and stop making me wake in a panic from your scream crying. Momma's so tired. </p> <p>Dear DD-</p> <p>I'm sorry. I really am. I know it's totally normal to get frustrated when you try new things but when you decide to let go of my knee, table or shelf and stand unassisted for a second then fall on your butt? I'm going to laugh. That shocked expression cracks me up. I can't help it. And when you burst into tears because I'm laughing at you, I'm just going to laugh harder at you.</p> <p>It's just a fact of life. I can't help it. But I'm sorry it upsets you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1285745 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 08:55:31 +0000 Bookish 1285745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear G,</p> <p>I'm thrilled that you mostly STTN. Honestly, you are a blessing to the circles under my eyes. However, please oh please remember that you are only 5.5 months old and still need a few naps during the day. I know you are super excited about the world, and it's adorable as heck, but for god's sake, if you would just nap for longer than 30 minutes, I would be eternally grateful!!!</p> <p>Love and kisses,<br /> mommy and daddy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1285686 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 08:14:51 +0000 MamaChin 1285686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dearest N,</p> <p>You still need 2 naps. I know you disagree, I could tell by all the screaming, but trust mommy on this please. We all need our lovely boy back, not this crankypants version. Grandma is visiting and you are making an already judge-y relationship even judg-ier. I promise you'll feel better after you sleep, I PROMISE. </p> <p>Mama </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1285672 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 08:04:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 1285672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear C,<br /> It's adorable that you have figured out how to roll into your tummy in your crib. However, you know you can't remember how to roll onto your back again, so please think twice before getting into your tummy, then freaking out because you are stuck like a reverse turtle. It's ok to sleep on your tummy though- you did it for six hours last night and it was lovely.<br /> Love, mom </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1285671 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 08:03:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1285671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear D, </p> <p>Please poop on the potty. We don't have any more pull ups and I have dumped and washed more messy underwear then I had to deal with during cloth diapers. Please Please Please. I will give you a huge pink lollipop if you do.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Mom, Dad, and your daycare teachers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dear-lo#post-1285663 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 07:55:48 +0000 Smurfette 1285663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear R,<br /> It is now a month and half since the time change, you are fully adjusted in the evenings. So why do you still think you need to wake up at 5 or 445 this morning? It is just not an acceptable time to wake up. I know you are still tired. You are a beautiful girl, but you still need your beauty rest. I know I do.<br /> Please, please, start sleeping till 6-630 again.<br /> Love<br /> Mommy</p> <p>What do you need to tell your LO? </p>
