X is for Xerox

​Is your baby a Xerox image of what the baby books predict they will be if you try their methods word for word? Or do you have a little rebel on your hands? Today, we want to bring hope that NO baby is a Xerox of anything and all babies are different. While some books may work for your baby, we want to urge you to not get to discouraged if the same methods don’t work that worked for your best friend’s baby. Just to show the silliness of how much pressure we put on ourselves as parents, today we have changed the words to one of Britney Spears’s greatest hit songs “Lucky.” Feel free to put on your karaoke and sing along with us!

*dramatic chords ensue*

          This is a story about a baby named Xerox…

          Early morning, they’re asleep
          Knock, knock, knock on the door
          And no one wakes up, peace and quiet
          It’s 10am they’re waiting for
          And Folks say

          Aren’t they lucky
          That textbook family

          And they say, She’s so lucky
          She just smiles, while our kids cry cry cry
          And it breaks our hearts
          Thinking, Dr. Karp has
          Five darn techniques and
          Why is my kid up all night

          Lost in an image, it just seems
          That she rarely wants to be picked up
          And the world is spinning and she keeps on grinning
          But tell me, what happens when she stops?
          She won’t.
          Aren’t they lucky
         That textbook family

          And they say, She’s so lucky
          She just smiles, while our kids cry cry cry
          And it breaks our hearts
          Thinking, those darn baby books
          Went and they lied and
          Why is my kid up all night

          Aren’t they lucky
          That textbook family
          They read the baby books, and they really worked,
          So why is ours up at night?

          And they say, She’s so lucky
          She just smiles, while our kids cry cry cry
          And it breaks our hearts
          Thinking, those darn baby books
          Went and they lied and

          Why is my kid up all night
