Apparently you missed the memo

Dear G,

Apparently you missed the memo that I'm the one in charge around here...or maybe the problem is that all the so-called experts who tell me all the things I have to do to create "perfect behavior" from my nearly 3 month old have never had a child who inherited my "fighter" genes...or maybe they've never been around children at all? Whatever the case may be, after numerous attempts to get you to take a nap and way more crying than I was hoping for (since you were so tired and fighting it so hard) I caved. You have now been sleeping in my arms for over 2 hours. Yes I absolutely love holding you but I'm completely immobile and have been thirsty for the entire 2+ hours. I'm also convinced I'm going to get a cramp in my arm at any moment. Not to mention all the things I had planned to get done while you slept. And years from now when I read this I'm sure I won't believe I let myself do this but I really missed my happy little boy and was sick of fighting with you and you being so grumpy and mad. So, here I sit, chicken pecking words on the keyboard and hoping that when you wake up you will be much more like the happy baby boy I love so much so we can play.

I love you son- even when you're Grouchy McGee
