English Accent

Dear Miya,

I've noticed that you pronounce several words with an English accent lately.  Your dad believes that Peppa Pig is influencing how you speak.  This leads me to believe that your dad thinks I let you watch Peppa Pig videos all day.  You and I both know this is false, so please lose the accent.

Love,
Mommy

Conversation Tips

Dear Rhys,

Congratulations on learning to use your voice for something other than crying or grunting.  The little baby stories you tell are very cute.  That being said, I have a couple tips for you that will really increase the cute factor.

  1. Punctuating each "sentence" with the release of gas or projectile spit-up really takes away from the cuteness.  In future, let's just leave that part of the story out.
  2. My ability to appreciate cuteness peaks between the hours of 8am and 10 pm.  At 4 am, I really struggle to fully appreciate the story.  
Love,
Mommy

Another New Rule

Dear Miya,

In future, please refrain from having small toys accompany you to the bathroom.  Also, just in case the downstairs bathroom backs up, let's just keep today's events between us.  When I see a zebra hanging out with a number  two, flush is the only option in my eyes.  Thank you for your discretion.

Love,
Mommy

Miya 101

Dear Rhys,

I know Miya keeps sticking her face in your face.  I know that this annoys you.  I know that she persists despite your dad and I telling her to stop.  You are new here, so I'm going to help you out with some advice.  Your sister remembers everything.  Your sister takes after your dad.  Retaliation is fruitless.  They will always get you worse than you got them.  That being said, although I know she deserved it, I would advise against puking on her nose again.

Love,
Mommy
