Newly Revised, Indeed!

I've started work on an update of the old standard, Robert's Rules of Order. Supposedly, the book is all about parliamentary procedure, which I, as a baby, know nothing about. The TRUE Robert's Rules of Order go something like this:

1. Any time is a good time to play.
a. Especially 3:00 a.m.
b. Or right after I go to bed.

2. If you scream loud enough, for long enough, eventually, Mom and/or Dad -- but preferably Mom -- will come and pick you up and cuddle you.
a. If Dad comes to cuddle you first, you have the right to reject that cuddling and demand Mom.
b. Don't let them trick you with the whole "Bobo wants to go to sleep" thing, or the whole "here's your binky" garbage. It's a clever ruse, but rise above it.

3. When you've finished your meal, it is acceptable to either:
a. throw the remaining morsels off your high chair
b. feed them directly to the dog

4. The "bedtime book" does not actually signify the beginning of actual bedtime. It's definitely more of a guideline than a rule.

5. If you wake up in the middle of the night, you are encouraged to scream as though you were being murdered.

It's a work in progress, sure... but I think I'm on the right track. Another six or eight months of intense, nightly research, and it'll be ready to go.

Dude... I've got to get down there and get you away from your MOTHER!!! She's "book dorking" you! Maybe a little mud fight and logical math game next time I see you!

I like how everyone assumes Emily wrote this. :)

Okay... so Daddy is a "book dork" too... that just means you need Aunt Kate's help that much more! Daddy can help with the logical math stuff... but it's still up to Aunt Kate to get you into a good mud fight!
