Dear Lilia,
Tomorrow is Mommy's birthday. She claims that she's going to be REALLY old, but she's only going to be 25 years old. With her being 25 and me being 28, I must be ancient or something. Maybe I should just bust out a wheelchair or walker to fit the part better. In any case, that's not what I wanted to write about.
Mommy thinks that there is a thing called a "birthday week". It's something she made up a few years ago to have an excuse to be able to get me to do anything for her (like I don't already). A birthday week consists of the entire week before OR after your birthday. Essentially you can treat every single day of the week as if it were your birthday.
Now, I just want to get something straight here before you get old enough to try and think you can do it. A birthday week CANNOT extend into a birthday month. Also, if you forget about the birthday week, you CANNOT use it later on. Mommy has tried to do both those things. It just doesn't work. Sorry if that disappoints you. Besides, you can pretty much get anything you want from both of us anytime anyway (because we love you so much).
Please keep these lessons in mind later in life. It will save you much disappointment later.
Love,
Daddy

Sleepless in Provo
Dear Lilia,
I have one phrase for you.
If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
I recommend that you remember this phrase every day as you make decisions on when to sleep. 3:30am is a REALLY good time to sleep 99.9999999% of the time. Mommy really enjoys her sleep, but she wasn't too worried when you woke up at 3:30am and wanted to eat and get a diaper change. That's entirely normal. You usually eat, get a diaper change and then go back to sleep.
What's not normal is staying awake until about 2pm with only very light naps in that 10.5 hour time. Mommy doesn't get a nap that way and tends to get really tired.
One way to tell if you really should be sleeping is if it's really dark in the room. You know how you can see better when things are all illuminated? That's called light. You can't see very well in the dark (or at all for that matter at this point), so it's a good time to get some sleep. Please keep that in mind tonight, because Mommy and Daddy are both really tired today.
Love,
Daddy
