Attention Parents of Colic-y Infants

WOOOHOOOO!!! We found the cure and boy howdy are we thrilled...so thrilled in fact, I thought I'd make this little known secret public!! It worked for Emma and it works for Bela too!! And they say two children are never the same, HA! See, the secret is, play really loud, super inappropriate music and sing right along, swears and all!! We've tried dozens of lullabies, but those don't seem to do the trick like Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get it On". But I mean really, how many future psychiatric bills am I willing to pay for an extra hour's sleep? Hmmm....I'm willing to pick up the tab I think to move my sleep meter from four to five hours.
Some of their favorite songs may include stories of drunken mistakes (Alkaline Trio "Sorry Bout That") and even- GASP- the f bomb (Red Hot Chili Peppers "I Could Have Lied"), but I guess in the end it's better to give the babes what they want right?
Sooo we took a day trip to grams' and gramps' house today and Emma was literally requesting Bob t.b. before she even got carried over the threshold. Nice. She got all her faves- pizza, Bob, Street (Sesame Street), many a game of "I gonna gichoo" and treats. Really, what more could a one-year-old ask for? Oh that's right, parents who allow her to do the same. The WHOLE way home, she dramatically sighed and said "Bye t.b., bye Bob, bye grappa" (notice the order of importance). I tried to reassure her these things were not gone forever, but the rolling tears at the dinner table let us know she didn't believe a word of it. Ah well. Until next weekend. Then Aunt Namie's coming to town and supposedly will allow all the t.b. and moomies (movies) a girl could hope for....sorry to say mommy's going to put a slight kabbash on that.
Anyways, the girls are finally asleep, so perhaps I should turn in. They're just so much fun to talk about.
