Dear Squirms

Dear Squirms.

You are a very cool two year old. However, this recent transition from two two-hour naps per day to one hour-and-a-half nap per day is taking your mother a bit longer to adjust to than you. I'm sorry that I don't make it to your room as fast as you would prefer - first I have to stumble from my bed, where I had just drifted off in an attempt for a mid-day nap, into the kitchen where I dip an old thin mint into leftover cream cheese icing and chug whatever coffee is left in the pot from this morning.

I am taking B12 and exercising more, in an attempt to have more energy; but, mommy would also be very okay if you wanted to take a longer nap....perhaps two-and-a-half hours, or even two hours? I think perhaps you are underestimating how wonderful lying still under a cozy blanket can be.

Your biggest fan,
mommy

p.s. Tanner and Shelby Ann have asked me to permanently hide the plastic straw you've been using as a specialized high-pitch flute.
