Please Go To Sleep...

Hey Bud,

So, first of all, I forgive you. You didn't do anything wrong...but at the same time, I forgive you.

We've been going through a bit of a rough patch lately. For some reason you're not sleeping through the night. Your mom and I are trying to figure it out -- did we do something wrong? Was there some kind of "sleep training" thing that we messed up?

It's possible. Right now, the easiest way to get you to sleep is to get you out of your crib and hold you until you nod off. The problem is, if you wake up, you won't be able to put yourself back to sleep. You see where I'm going with this?

Anyhow, I know it's not your fault, but that sure doesn't stop me from begging you to somehow find the ability to sleep soundly though the night.

I dunno', bud. I guess you'll figure it out. Some day, I'm sure you'll love sleep as much as your dad does.

In other news, you're turning 1 year old in a couple weeks. It's a pretty big milestone...but I'm sure at this point it'll just be "another day" for you (albeit with a tasty "cake" to rub all over your face). Should be fun...
