I wanted to thank-you for putting our little angel down to bed the other night, it was really helpful. I know you probably wish you could do it every night, and clearly you need the practice. There are some things you need to remember, and somehow I’ve managed to find the time to write them down for you:
BEFORE you put a baby/toddler down to sleep at night, they need a new, DRY diaper put on them. If you do not do this, they will wake up SOAKED in urine. I am hoping because this happened to you the other night, that you will now remember this basic, fundamental rule.
Since I'm penning a lovely letter to you, I think I will just get everything off my chest. When the girls wake up in the morning, they like to eat what I call breakfast. When I come downstairs after having a RARE sleep-in, or have come upstairs from a work-out (after having done your laundry as well), I expect that they have eaten. They like to eat cereal and toast in the morning.
Lastly, I want to thank-you for sleeping through the night (at least someone in the house is sleeping through). I especially like when you wake up and say "the girls had a good night, no-one woke up". Just so you know I want to kung-fu you in the balls when you say that.
Always your loving wife, L
p.s The girls have a garbage can in their bathroom, I would love it if it could be included- and emptied on garbage day.
When we don't know where to put things, we put it here! You will find a collection of funny, life changing and interesting topics in this section of the magazine.
