Dear Aidan,
Are you too old to be taking naps now? The past few days you have been fighting sleep even when you are tired and cranky. You are fine sleeping at night, but during the day you fight it like no other. Daddy tried holding you, rocking you back-and-forth for a while, but that didn't work. He then tried putting you down in your crib while he lay beside you on the ground so that you wouldn't start freaking out. However, you kept standing up and talking. That's where I stepped in. I'm much more tougher than daddy and I have no patience for stuff like this. I believe that if you are tired you should just sleep. End of story. I put you firmly down in your crib and blocked out all the side rails with a blanket (so that you couldn't see who was in your room) and left the room, shutting the door behind me. Of course, you started crying like crazy. I usually let you cry because eventually you will fall asleep. I know that sounds cruel, but it's for your own benefit. However, in today's case, you didn't stop crying. You were crying so hard that you were having trouble breathing. I had to go back in and get you out of your crib.
This is the scene of the crime. Look how you just messed your whole crib area.
Mommy: Are you proud of yourself?
Trying to give me the puppy doggy eyes.
Mommy: Umm... why are you smiling now?
Always trying to touch mommy's camera lens... Sigh.
