To Sienna

I realize of late I have been sounding rather negative... I have to apologize to you for telling everyone how difficult you have been lately!

Mommy is just very tired and kicking herself for not putting you in your crib at a younger age!

We are slowly trying the cry it out method (Daddy and I hate it just as much as you do!), and I am sorry, but we have no choice now... You have come to associate our lovely middle of the night nursing and cuddling sessions with sleep and, although this may anger you to hear, I am going to try to stop this :( it will be difficult for both of us, because although I hate having little sleep, I adore lying next to you and getting to snuggle in the middle of the night... I love how when you are finished with me you roll over and sigh and go right back to sleep like the little angel that you are... I also don't mind the fact that it is extremely difficult for me to fall back to sleep because it gives me a chance to do one of my favorite things: watch your little chubby tummy go up and down as you breathe, and maybe even hold your tiny hand as you do so. Although your whimpering wakes me up sometimes, I think it is adorable, and I often attempt to soothe you by cuddling up a little closer and whispering "it's ok, ssshhhhh", then you usually cease the night terror and continue snoozing...

I love you very much and we will all sleep much sounder once we are no longer doing so as a threesome!

xoxo

Mommy
