Dear J-baby,

Dear J-baby,
Please stop falling down, running into things, falling off of things, jumping off of things, jumping onto things and anything else that may hurt you. You are covered in knots and bruises and cuts and scrapes and people are starting to give Uncle Blake and me the ole side eye.

Please stop hitting the dogs with your hands and hammer and anything else that you may find that looks like it would be fun to hit them with. Please stop throwing rocks at the dogs, jumping on the dogs, trying to ride the dogs (it never works out for you and usually causes more bruises or bumps).

Please stop coloring on your WHITE furniture, your WHITE sheets and pillow covers, your reading books (the COLORING books are OK to color in). Stop coloring your WHITE walls, your shirt that you are wearing and yourself!

Please stop throwing the rocks from under the porch into the grass and onto the patio. Stop playing in mud puddles, throwing your toys and the dog’s toys outside of the fence. Stop yelling through the fence to the neighbor’s dog to “Hush”. Blake and I think it is really cute but I am sure that the dog’s owners do not think it’s very cute. Please stop pulling the gutter drain off of the side of the house. I have no idea how I am going to get that back up there! Please stop sticking your head through the porch railings, screaming bloody murder when you get stuck, have me get you out, then stick your head right back in the railing (repeat 3-4 times).

You have been doing well with the potty training, but when you take your diaper off, come get me or go to the bathroom, do not stand on your bed and pee, that’s not good.

Other than these things, you are doing awesome! I love you and wish I could keep you forever!

Love,
Aunt J

P.S. While I was writing this, you opened your drawers on your dresser, climbed up, got your baby powder and did this to your room...


This is now added to the this of things for you to stop doing.
