the deal


To Mom and Dad

From Josh


When I am awake, I want to be held. If I fall asleep in your arms, I don't want to be put in the crib. I will wake up and cry. I realize that you do have other boys to take care of and things to get done, but frankly, I don't care. I am the baby of the family and I want full time attention. You may put me in a bouncy seat or a swing for small amounts of time. If I fall asleep in them, it will be a quick nap, nothing too long. Mom, please don't take time dressing or looking nice. I will just spit up on you anyway. As long as I am held, I will be a pleasant baby and give you lots of smiles. And here is the deal - you go along with all this and I will give you a full nights sleep, and I mean a FULL nights sleep, consistently. I am talking 9:30 pm to 7:00 am. What do you say?

IT'S A DEAL! *Like we have a choice anyway. We know you are the boss. But we absolutley LOVE our full nights sleep every night. Keep it up baby.

Joshie is so cute!! He is a person! I think in that picture he looks like a Pyne! Can't wait to be one of them who gets to hold him constantly!

As far as his deal goes, hey, you take what you can get, right??

That sounds like a good deal ;) He's too cute to say no to.

HE sleeps from 9:30 pm to 7:00 am??? Boy I hope Kami doesn't read this. HE does look like a Pyne. Oh Audra, I gotta tell you thing.
This really cute young guy came to our home to clean our carpets. Everything he said, I just stared at his features then I just blurted out, "Morris, Doesn't he looks like Audra?". He looked horrified and said, "A Girl?" then I had to back peddle and say, No, she's really pretty", He said, " I look like a Girl? still mortified." So I finally said, " No she looks like a guy." (not being honest) I just kept sticking my foot in my mouth deeper and deeper, But really, he had your beautiful Eyes and nose and coloring. Morris couldn't believe it either. So you have a male twin out there cleaning carpets just so you know.

HOW CUTE! And what a great smile! He is the baby and you just give him all the love and attention he needs! Not that there is not plenty enough to go around with so many helpful hands in the house! :)

Oh, what a good baby! 9:30 to 7 every night! I can't wait to be one of the people who hold him all day.

Hooray for sleeping through the night! He is cute!

Jessi said...

We love Josh. We'll even babysit overnight for you sometime. (Assuming he strikes the same deal over here).

Just for fun, say no deal, and see what happens.... On "deal or no deal", people end up getting offered more money! On second thought, how can you not just do absolutely everything that cutie pie says?

Megan said...

Sounds like a win-win situation!

Kami Hall said...

Nice try mom! You can't hide this from me! I am SO jealous!! Connor has gotten better though...sort of. He's been sick lately so he has an excuse to be up in the night. But you are so lucky!
