Piper likes to play tricks on us in the middle of the night. I must say, she is a wily little devil. She knows all the right techniques to get us out of bed for some midnight snuggle time. The doctor says a little tough love is in order. But let’s face it… I’m no good at tough love. Especially at 2am. Actually, I’m not good at much of anything at 2am, except cussing.
Example: A few nights ago, in the wee hours, some idiots started driving around outside our apartment in their extraordinarily loud cars, pretending they were on The Fast and the Furious. Of course, it woke Piper up. I proceeded to call the Vin Diesel wannabes stupid mother f@#%ers as Jared snuggled next to me, scared to react to my motherly rage. Luckily, Piper cried only for a moment, then fell back asleep. Disaster averted.
Sadly, that was a good night. I don’t know why Piper is such an unpredictable sleeper. I don’t know what I should be doing. What I do know is that I need to stop cussing at 2am. I think it makes Jared uncomfortable. And it’s not very ladylike. And it’s bad manners. We all know I’d be in big trouble if Grandma Fae found out I was practicing such bad manners. What is a sleep deprived, irrational mother to do?

I know it's hard at 2am, but just try to remind yourself that "this too shall pass". And it will, I promise. And one day you'll wonder where the time went!
Claire and Piper are similar sleepers!! Most of the time she just falls back asleep, but those other nights are hell!!! Good luck!
Jamie, do you need to go to Grandma Faes Manner School? The other day Hen threw some food on the floor and Fae told me he had no manners. Lol I gaurantee it's her teeth!
You learned from the champion!
