Hey Jakey,

It was nothing short of amazing. I almost cried. I wanted to wake up your Grandma and tell her, I wanted to shake your daddy awake and tell him the news.

The Dr. Karp DVD and book arrived yesterday on the doorstep, and later on that night, you and I and daddy and grandma watched the DVD and learned how to calm you down using the "5 S's". OMG.

At 3 in the morning, you got fussy and I sat with you on the bathroom floor and did, oh three? of the five S's, and your eyes popped open and you calmed right down. You smiled even. Wow. Praying this isn't a fluke, and that I now hold the secrets to calming you down. You even woke up this morning having downloaded the BIGGEST shit ever into your diaper. That's pretty relaxed.

We'll see how the rest of your day goes. I might even have the means for a little escape to the outside world today if you behave for your grandma. I love you!
