Are You Allergic To Sleep?

OK, we admit. We did forgot to review line item 14f in our contract with God to bring you into this world. After the events of the past few nights, we have pulled out said contract and reviewed the fine print. We were not surprised to find the following:

14f) Your child may find a routine sleeping schedule. You may get used to this sleeping schedule. You may find yourself structuring your life around this sleeping schedule. Then, one day when you least expect it, that sleeping schedule will go to shit. Your life will be ruined. You will get no sleep. You will go from 1 cup of coffee per day (which you didn't even drink until your baby was born) to 21 cups per day (or about one per waking hour).

How did we miss this part of the contract!? We were getting ready to sue God, but I guess she's off the hook for now. Goddamnit. She's so smart.

OK, Ayjia, listen up it's Coach Dad. You're sleeping during the day. Two naps at two hours each are definitely cool! Let's keep that up. But, let's focus on sleeping when....oh I don't know...EVERYONE ELSE is sleeping. For the past three nights you have decided that waking up for a midnight snack is fun to do. Well, let me tell you something, its not fun to do kiddo. Its very very bad. In fact, its so bad that evil monsters will eat your spleen if you wake up again anywhere between the hours of 9pm and 7am. We're not threatening you, we're just manipulating you...there's a huge difference. Besides, you can't expect us to be on our best behavior because that would require SLEEP!!!!
