My advice on life
Daddy says I have a new baby cousin. His name is Ethan. I haven't met him yet. He has a four year old sister named Jordan. I've met her. She's really nice.I come here today to try and pass on some pearls of wisdom to Ethan. After all, in my two months on the planet, I've learned a lot.
So, here goes.
If you want something, don't be afraid to scream for it. This works well in the areas of food, clean diapers and attention. When I use my lung capacity to let my Mommy and Daddy know I want something, dude, you'd be surprised to see how quickly they respond. It doesn't matter what time, either. Just last night, I woke my Daddy up at 3:30 a.m. just for the heck of it, then went back to sleep, only to truly desire food an hour later. We have an awesome power, Ethan.
When you find something you like, wear it out. For me, it's a toy. I have a playpen like yours. Mine has teddy bears on it, too. In fact, that picture is of me in that playpen watching my bears spin. I love watching the bears. Mommy and Daddy seem to like them a little less than me. Just yesterday, Daddy wondered when we might get something that spins on its own. The bears are one of my favoritest things in the whole world. Seeing them boogie makes me smile.
Eat whenever they give it to you. Yes, I know. It has no taste. Still, I love being full. I'm sure you do, too. Stock up, then sleep as hard as you casn. You'll find the adults let you sleep whenever, wherever you want. Life as a baby is great.
Shots. When you hear this word, RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know we can't run yet. But, you have an advantage: Jordan. She really likes you and can help you get away if your Mommy and Daddy decide to get you attacked by needles. Use that to your advantage. All I had was the kitty. Fat lot of good she did.
Binkys. Don't be fooled. Nothing comes out of them. So, when they give it to you to quiet you while they try to get your bottle ready, don't believe the hype. They're nothing more than a tool used to try and shut us up. Fight the power.
Play time. I remember being your age. I didn't play much then, either. But, once you get the energy, play like there's no tomorrow. After all, you're a baby.
The bright light. My Daddy told me your Mommy said you hate the bright light adults use, too. I've been told it comes from something called a camera they use to take pictures. I hate the light. I really do. My Daddy tries to not use it, but then he starts talking about blurry pictures and to be honest, I lose interest.
There you have it, dude. Enjoy life on the outside.
