Dear Mommy . . .

I know that you love me very much. Know that I love you very much too! I know that the last few days have been particularly hard for us both, especially at night, because of something you call molars. To me it feels like there are big mountains errupting in my mouth and this has been waking me up in the middle of the night because it hurts so bad.

Thank you for being so patient with me though and letting me snuggle with you so that I feel safe, loved and not scared. But don't think I haven't noticed your tears too at 3 in the morning when we have been up for an hour already and you know it will be at least one more before I can get back to sleep. I also know that last night was hard. I have to admit, getting to sleep with you until daddy came home was way more fun than sleeping in my own bed. But when I was going to sleep my mouth hurt so bad.

Don't worry I didn't let daddy off the hook at 12 when he tried to put me in my bed so he didn't have to sleep on the floor again, like at Grandmaman's in December. And when I had to get you up at 2:30 to come comfort me again it was because my mouth hurt and I wanted to feel the steadiness of your breath to help me calm down and go back to sleep. You have to admit I did go back to sleep after only an hour last night, though I did get you up at 6:30 this morning. What can I say, I couldn't wait to see you again. ;)

I really hope that these molar things and my eye teeth? finish up real soon. Because like you, I need a goodnight's sleep too. What is with hitting the gym so much these days lady? Are you trying to wear me out so I will nap? I see through you plan. Hehehe!

Mommy - just remember one small little thing. I LOVE YOU!

Love Sophie
