Dear Addison

Dear Sweet Addison,
It has been brought to our attention that you are in violation of a few Pearce family household rules. Please be advised that immediate action is needed on your part and full cooperation would be most appreciated. The following is a list of said violations (in no particular order.)

1. Sleeping is very much enjoyed by all members of the Pearce family. We prefer to sleep at least 8 hours straight at night and find daytime naps helpful as well. Please adjust your sleeping routine accordingly.

2. Constant whining is a nuisance. While we understand that you cannot communicate with words, squeals and coos would be much more appealing than your persistent honking and crying. Please change your sounds accordingly.

3. Pearce babies should be able to roll over and crawl before proceeding to walk. Yes, your big brother can walk but you are still a baby. Please be advised that your need to walk is only escalated by the fact that you are not mobile but choose to be because you have no interest in learning to crawl. Please change your activities accordingly.

4. We are not a violent family. Yes, you are sweet but at times you feel the need to express yourself with your flailing hands. Your mother has battle wounds from your constant slapping and scratching. Please change your hand movements accordingly.

Oh, and one more thing. Because you are so cute, we are in fact, willing to overlook the violation of rules 1-4. Thank you for your immediate cooperation.

Your Loving Family
