Milestone

Eden, today your parents achieved a milestone in your development:  it was the night they broke.  They tried to coddle you even more than their previous children because you're so cute, you're the baby, and they were willing to go all out to keep you happy.  But, when you started waking up every hour at night wanting to be picked up and put back to sleep, they knew you weren't sleeping well enough for your own health, and they thought they might go insane.  So you cried for a while this 19th of March 2012, in the middle of the night, and learned how to put yourself back to sleep, and it wasn't as bad as it might have been, but it wasn't pretty either, and your mom hated it as much as you did.  If you have lasting mental health issues, you and your brothers can all go to therapy together and split the costs, and you'll know who did it to you.  Believe it or not, it's because I love you, and want you to sleep better.  (And yes, we love ourselves too :)  Good night.  xoxo
