Hi Aubrey Kate. I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day of chewing and scooting to meet with me.
You know that as the newest member of The Evans’ Family Inc., we are overall very pleased with your performance. You giggle often, you smile sweetly, you play well and you score off the charts in cuteness.
However, there is an area of concern and that’s what brings us here today.
Unfortunately, over the last week, we have seen a sharp decline in the area of “Sleeping Through the Night”.
Now you will remember, this is a core value we here at The Evans’ Family Inc. hold in high esteem. We like our sleep and we need it to be seamless with very few if any interruptions.
What we would like to see from you is an action plan on how you will improve your sleep schedule. My recommendation is that the plan include items such as:
1. Learning how to lye down from a seated position
2. Improving your sensitivity to your surroundings so you can better recognize the signals for night time sleep (these include but should not be limited to a dark room, the sound of the noise machine, the warm, fuzzy pajamas and the fact that you are in your crib)
3. Better utilization of Stripes as a comfort.
The action plan should be complete with boldface action items and assigned due dates. We would like to see, for instance, you master lying down from a seated position by the end of the business day today. We understand it will require practice and we are willing to provide tutors if necessary. These are trained professionals, not much older than you, who have shown great skill in all aspects of sitting, lying and maneuvering between the two quickly and effortlessly.
Again, thank you for your time today. I know your colleagues are anxious for you to return for more play time. We trust that by tonight, all of us will have a much better night of sleep without the need for one of us to sleep on the couch. Because despite the overwhelming cuteness of the slumber party, both you and Dad would be much happier if you had been able to sleep soundly in your own beds.
I’ll see you tonight and if you don’t mind, send in Winnie the Pooh next. He’s been eating up batteries at an alarming rate and we need to see how to mitigate those costs going forward.

That picture could not be any cuter!! My child still doesn't sleep through the night at almost 17 months old. He and Mommy have slumber parties every night!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that! I'm so sorry for no sleep Ladybug. Aubrey Kate you need to get right on this sleep thing girl. Love You, Nana
ReplyDeleteVery good performance review, however I would recommned weekly counciling sessions until marked improvement is exhibited. I would also add a few parameters such as initiation of crawling activies that meet accepted standards within one month and mastering the word Mama before the next quarterly review. knowing her desire to excell in all points, I think now is the time to raise the bar and start thinking "outside the box". These addtions will make her even more valuable to management (Naw not really!)
ReplyDeleteIf none of this has any affect tell her to keep a stiff upper lip and soon Nana, Puddin, Buddy amd Meme can interceed for her if she wants to file a grievance against management.
Love, Puddin
