It takes a village to raise a child

Mr. Ben you bring us so much love and joy but you have really been challenging us lately. I haven't gotten consecutive hours of sleep in months. Sometimes I wish we had a bigger village (and a bigger bed) so we could share our lacking of sleep. If you weren't so darn stinking precious I might put you to bed in the garage so we could rest peacefully. No one said parenting was easy, and I don't think you can truly understand the  deepest darkest depths of parenting until you experience the up all night screaming and weeks of sleep deprivation. It gives us character, and gray hair, and wrinkles, but it is worth it. It may take a village to raise a child but no one loves you like your mom and dad.
