Dear Ms. Payton ...

Your sleep habits have got to stop. Daddy and I love you dearly, but it has been over two years and you are still waking up at least once per night. On top of that, you hate your crib (as did your brother) and you will not let us put you in it at night unless you are pretty much asleep. Tonight was a struggle and we ultimately had to let you cry it out ... luckily that only lasted a few minutes until you fell asleep. We promise to get you a big girl bed, only if you promise to sleep. Love you sweet girl, Mommy.
