“My Monday”

Hi Daddy,

Since you had to go home yesterday, I thought I’d give you a run-down of my
day:

I was pretty good last night and only woke up three times to be fed.  Mommy,
though, was all involved in a book she was reading and lost track of time
and didn’t turn out the light to go to sleep until after 4:00am, so she only
got about two or three hours of sleep.  Silly Mommy, she should sleep when I
do.

Anyway, when I woke up this morning I had breakfast and then I went to see
Grandpa for a little bit.  I think I like him.  I pooped a whole bunch while
I was sitting on him.  I got it all over me (all the way from my bottom to
my neck), but luckily I didn’t get any on him, especially since he had to go
to a meeting.  Mommy decided that I was so dirty from that that I really
needed to have a bath, so that’s what we did next.  I have decided that I
really don’t like having my face washed and let Mommy know that I didn’t
like it.  She just ignored me and washed it anyway.  I wish you’d have a
talk with Mommy about ignoring what I want and don’t want.  Anyway, having
the rest of me washed is ok, though.  After that, I had a little mid-morning
snack and then I played on my playmat for a while.  Mommy tried to get me to
have a little tummy time, but I didn’t like that very much either.  It’s too
hard.  Mommy says that I need it though so that my arms will get stronger.
Then I ate some more.  I like that.  Then I took a little nap and I think
Mommy ate some breakfast.  When I woke up, I pooped some more and then had
another little snack.  Then I decided that Mommy needed a nap, so I took one
with her because she seems to sleep better when I sleep on her.  I decided
she had slept enough after two hours, so I gave a little scream to help her
wake up.  It worked.  Then I decided to spend some more time with Grandpa,
and we had a nice little conversation.  He seems to understand me.  Then it
was time for more napping and snacking.  I’m very good at both of those
things.  After that, I sat with Grandpa for a little while more.  We are
getting along just fine. Then there was a bell sound and Mommy put me in my
bouncy chair while Grandpa got a couple of boxes from somebody at the door.
Whatever was in them smelled really good (I think Mommy called it “pizza”).
I thought I’d like to try a piece or two, but they wouldn’t let me, so I
complained while they ate.  I’m good at that, too.  Then Mommy gave me some
more milk from this hard plastic thing.  I don’t really like that very much,
but Mommy was very insistant (she said I need to learn how to drink from it
before I can go to daycare.  Somehow, I’m not too sure about this “daycare”
thing.) and I managed to get pretty good at it by the time I was done.  I
drank about 3 ounces and Mommy seemed pretty happy about that.  I like to
make Mommy happy.  Then it was time for another long nap on Mommy’s lap, and
now I’m off to bed.

I love you, Daddy.  I can hardly wait to see you on Friday!

P.S.  Mommy says she loves you bunches and bunches.
