Dear Pretz an hour and a half ago:

Don't put Elijah in bed yet. I know he's crying and rubbing his eyes and laying down on the floor with his blankie, but he's just going to fight it as soon as you lay him down. Better yet, lay him down and forget your normal 10 minute check-ins. He'll sit up by the time you reach the door and undo all the tucking in. Also, that fresh sheet you put on his bed? Yeah, he scratched his eczema cheek that was finally 75% healed, ripped open the skin, and proceeded to rub it on the sheet, so yay for more bloodstains and scabs the day before his dermatologist visit! Oh, and that nap you needed? Forget it. By the time he goes to sleep (which still hasn't happened), you'll be too awake to go to sleep and will spend naptime listening to NCIS with your eyes closed while Dipshit Magoo yells at his blanket and rubs his head against the crib slats. Because yes, at this moment, you refer to your child as Dipshit Magoo.

In other words, roll over on the couch, doze for about an hour, and let him do his thing. At least one of you will get sleep.

All my sorries,

Future Pretz

P.S. FUCK YOU, MOLARS.
