Dear Arlin!




Dear Arlin,
This is what happens when you do not put Aylah to sleep! I tried to get her to take a nap for 2 hours and she did nothing but scream at the top of her lungs (Eben even had to cover his ears)! So I decided to give up so she played for a little bit then I decided to make her a sandwich and hop in the shower. Eben came into the bathroom and said, "Mommy, I think sister is asleep!". So I went to check on her and the poor thing had to put herself to sleep. Do you remember when I was pregnant and I always had to put Eben to bed and you said to me, "I hope this one likes me!" well your wish came true. She will not go to sleep unless you are there to rock her. She is definitely a daddy's girl! However, I must thank you for getting up in the night to put her back to sleep because when I do it we are up for hours instead of minutes. You truly are a wonderful husband and father!

Love,

Shannon

Love it! Isn't it great when they want their daddy? I used to get sad that my girls preferred Scott if he was home, but quickly learned that I got a break. Yeah for dads!
