A Memo

Note to Reagan
From: The Management
Re: What sleep means

Dear Little Girl
Now that you're home, just wanted to define a few things. SLEEP is when you shut your eyes and lie quietly for more than two minutes at a time, so that other members of the household (ie, the mommy) may also sleep. It is NOT to be done, for example, during EATING, which is characterized ideally by a state of alertness, in order to complete said feeding. The two are separate entities. Eat = awake. After Eat = sleep.

Just needed to clarify, as the whole "falling asleep while eating" and then waking up the second mommy puts you down in the crib and crying until you are held again, is not making for a restful evening for the management.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

The Mommy
