After we ripped little AJ (15 months old) away from the constant attention of grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins to move to Nebraska, we tried to write a little family letter each week to e-mail to them so they all felt they could still watch him grow-up. Al can write some pretty humorous stuff and this is one of my favorites, so I thought that I would share.
"Anyone wishing to come and stay with us now will have two theme rooms to choose from. There is the Self Reliance room where you can slumber amongst dry packed goods, canned items and water storage. Mood lighting is dark, pitch black in fact and you can dream to the sounds of wood floors squeaking or scrapbook to your hearts content. Your other option is the Therapy room. Here you may sleep on the height adjustable trundle bed, catch a wink on the crash pad or as many of our visitors do, just lay on the floor. Whenever you feel the need to stimulate your sensory needs you may jump on the trampoline and sing absolute nonsense at the top of your lungs. Other accommodations include sitting on the inflatable peanut, locking your self into a small closet where you can play the xylophone or drums or trying to rip apart board books. Both rooms also come with complimentary middle of the night visitors who may inform you they have peed the bed, are hungry for scrabbled eggs or need their bottom scratched because it itches. One thing we can ensure is that your experience at Insanity Inn will be one you never forget or may never recover from."
It is so great to be married to someone that has just as skewed view on our crazy family as I do.
