Four Truffula Trees

[The screaming of babies over the journals is a well known sound by now, and the screaming coming from this one is no different. Except that halfway through a particularly loud scream, someone has decided to start strumming a guitar. Which is soon joined by what might be called a lullaby, if the singer had no idea how to make babies go to sleep. Which is pretty much the case here]

♫ Hush little baby
Sleep time is now
Your diaper is empty
And you’ve drunk half a cow

It really would be lovely
If you’d rest your head
Or daddy's sleep deprivation
Will make him drop dead

You’ve been rocked, you’ve been cooed at
For five whole nights through
But your demanding cries keep coming
What more can we do?

So sleep, little baby
Just close your eyes
Whoever said this was easy
Was just telling lies ♪

[The crying stops...for about ten seconds, before it continues]

Okay wow, seriously. Where is your off switch?

Yeah. She fell asleep right with her head on my lap and now I can't move an inch, haha!

[she also fell asleep with poor Blacky clutched a little too tightly in her arms, and the shadow is wiggling about, making sad puppy eyes at Adachi while the man ignores him]

I guess it was close to nap time.

Guess I'm not a complete failure at everything. Go me.

[oh my god what a debbie downer]

Sheesh, you always like this?

I don't hear yours crying anymore maybe you should use this time to work on that sleep deprivation. Get what you can when you can and all.

[whichwayyoulean]

Pretty much. Except twelve-to-two PM on Mondays, where I can be known to dance a little jig and sing songs about moonbeams.

...Hey you're right. She's gone to sleep. [OH THANK GOD SHE'S GONE TO SLEEP]

[foolreversed]

[eyeeeeeroll]

Get some sleep then. It sounds like you probably deserve it. I would catch some sleep too, except mine's pinning me to the couch, haha.

[whichwayyoulean]

Adorable. [That may or may not be sarcasm]

Yeah. I think I'll try the sleeping thing.
