Mommy's starvation campaign

Hi everyone. Hope you're all doing wonderfully. Life here has been traumatic since Mommy has started starving me at night. She decided that I was big enough and that I no longer needed to nurse in the wee hours of the morning! This was after the doctor pretty much told Mommy that I was "hearty enough" and definitely didn't need more food at night. Can't she tell that I'm a growing girl who needs sustenance? I was only getting up once! The first night she implemented this torture, she thought she could pacify me with my Binky. I promptly threw it across the room and screamed my angry displeasure for an hour and a half. The second night I got even more mad when I realized that she was serious about this nonsense. And the third night I tried desperately to change her mind so I got up almost every hour to yell at her and Daddy (by this point he had to get involved too). But after night 4 and 5, I think I'm giving up. In fact, last night I woke up once and gave one or two little cries before figuring she wasn't coming in so I went back to sleep. It wasn't worth the energy. We'll see if I'll let her off this easy. Grandma and Grandpa Belknap are coming tonight for a visit, so maybe I'll kick things up a notch so that Mommy feels REALLY guilty.

Well, that's the latest from here in Sacramento. If you think Mommy is being unfair with her cruel and unusual punishment at night, please call your local political representative. I need all the advocacy that I can get! Bye for now!

Sorry to say Molly, Mommy is in the right. I won't let Hailey read this one because her time is coming soon enough! Have fun with Grandma & Grandpa!
Love, Aunt Christie

Good job Molly. It only took Ava about 3 days to figure out I meant business too. Maybe at our next playdate you two can come up with new strategies to drive us crazy!
