Pants Off

Dear Child of Mine,

You have your 2 bottom teeth so far. I can tell when you are teething because you don't sleep through the night. In the past week or so you have started waking in the middle of the night screaming like a crazy person when you wake. It isn't that subtle cry like mommy please get me a bottle, it is more along the lines of "Mom, wake the hell up now!!!!! If you don't I will only get worse and will refuse to go back to sleep, I will then proceed to get into bed with you, push you to the very edge of the bed and sanity all while I kick the crap out of every major organ and joint in your body!!!"
You are usually so good about laying down in your own bed when you get tired and putting yourself to sleep, well that good behavior has also gone out the window during this recent stint of teething. You now want me to lul you to sleep. You prefer that I lay you next to me in my bed with no light what so ever and allow you to use my entire body as your pillow or punching bag, just depends on how tired you are at the time. I tried repeatedly last night to lul you to sleep. You got there a few times but as soon as I moved you would wake back up. I was trying to get a talk prepared that I have to give in Young Woman's so I made your Dad try his hand at getting you to sleep. It is so funny how Dads feel like there are certain things they are just not capable of when it comes to their children. Well you know me, that is just unacceptable so I make him try, I also LOVE to see him try and get frustrated, I will be honest I laugh my butt off at him!!! He tried a few times, laying down with you but he didn't understand that he just has to lay there and accept that he will be kicked and scratched and screamed at until you finally fall asleep. He finally tried to lay you down in your own bed. We could hear you yelling and playing in your bed so your dad walked back in to check on you only to find that you had somehow taken your pants all the way off, they were not around your ankles or even near you. He brought you back into the hall so I could see you, I looked at him and said, "Why did you take his pants off?" He was laughing so hard that he couldn't speak, he finally got it out what you had done and I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. You got a good laugh as well. I think you know how funny you are and you get quite a kick out of yourself.
I love your guts Meaty!
