As a parent of an 8-month-old who was once a champion sleeper, I’ve recently found myself engulfed in sleep deprivation after a cold threw off her routine. The endless cycle of sleepless nights has led me to utter some rather unusual remarks to my little one. I hope that one day she will understand. Below are some examples of my late-night musings:
- Please, keep your hands away from my face. We’re not exactly pals right now.
- I’m changing your diaper, and honestly, I feel like I should be the one in tears.
- Seriously, stop flapping your arms like a baby bird on caffeine.
- This is why your dad is contemplating a trip to the ocean.
- Ugh… remember this when you hit your teenage years.
- Ouch! Stop biting me! You’re acting like a wild animal!
- If you don’t quit kicking, I might have to resort to duct tape.
- Is anyone else finding this amusing? It’s like you’re on some sort of wild stimulant. I could use a little pick-me-up too.
- Normal human beings don’t smear boogers on their face. You are truly the worst roommate imaginable.
- Don’t suck there! I’m not designed for that!
- Wait, you were asleep! How did we end up here again?
- The pacifier stays in your mouth, no questions asked.
- Your diaper smells like apricots. What in the world is happening?
- This is precisely why you have no friends.
- I hug you, and you shove me away. I set you down, and you cry. You’re as perplexing as your mother.
- Just communicate what you need! Not everything is a mystery.
- Stop being adorable! No one is cute at this hour. Please, go to sleep.
- Why are you grinning? Now I’m smiling too. I despise that we’re both smiling.
