subj: hi daddy!
it's layla. i like to scream. i've been screaming and crying for two whole days now! my top teeth are trying to push through. i don't want to drink anything, formula or breastmilk. i don't want to sleep. i don't want mommy to hold me. and i don't want to play on the floor. i don't want to sit in the high chair or in the jeep. i don't want to get in the car. i don't want my sister to try and make me laugh, or tickle me.
mostly, i don't want to stop SCREAMING! i finally fell asleep after 8 pm last night (mommy put me down around 6:30). but, that was only after i threw up all over my bed and myself and my nighnigh doggie. and THEN, i woke up every hour on the hour for the rest of the night! and i cried whenever mommy put me back to bed. and then i woke up at 5 am. for the day! isn't that fun daddy? and then mommy thought i should finally take a nap around 10 this morning, so i did. for 45 minutes daddy! and then mommy put me down for a nap at 1:30 again and i slept AGAIN, for 25 minutes! mommy gave me a bottle, but i didn't want it and threw it out of my crib. she also tried to nurse me (many many many times) and i just keep biting her. she screams and i see actual tears in her eyes. i think it must hurt her pretty badly.
i think mommy is at the end of her rope. i'm trying to be good, but i'm in pain daddy. and i think i'm sick. again. maybe you should send mommy a big bottle of wine. or vodka. or a pack of cigarettes. or some illicit drugs. but, really i think she'd just be happy to have some sleep...and for me to stop SCREAMING...
i love you daddy!
love,
layla

She's so eloquent. And surprisingly knowledgeable about mind/mood altering substances. She'll go far, that one.
Ahhhhhh.....so sorry .....hang in there....call me if you need a blender and some salt....:) oh yeah and a lime:)
Ouch! So sorry.
Oh Kristen! I'm so sorry, it's got to be tough right now. I think about you all the time when Will is working late...just that gets Caylin all worked up. I just cant imagine what it's like on your end right now. Please, if there is anyway I can help you (dinner, anything!), dont hesitate to ask!!
Oh Kristin, I am so sorry you are going through this alone. I'm glad to see that you still have a sense of humor about it! I hope that Layla isn't getting sick again and that those teeth pop through soon so you can get some rest. Hugs my dear friend!
