For over three years Suzy was the center of our universe.....then in one fell swoop her world as she knew it was shattered by the entrance of her little sister. We knew she wasn't getting as much attention as she was used to, but didn't quite realize the full extend until Jeremy found Suzy in the bathroom with an empty container of lotion. Watch video below:
She had emptied the previously full lotion jar by wiping it on everything - the counters, the toilet, the bathtub, the walls and herself. Let's just say it was probably a good thing that her much more patient and gentle dad found her instead of me.
We're all adjusting as well as possible and we continue to cherish Suzy's sweet disposition and hilarity. Here are a couple of things she has said in the past few days:
1. I want some more "jelly" beans on my salad (should be "chili" beans)
2. Cinderella and her "Very" godmother (instead of "fairy" godmother)
3. We were eating dinner one night and out of the blue Suzy says to us, "Sometimes elephants are girls." Jeremy was completely caught off guard and busted out laughing. He hadn't had the conversation earlier with her that I did about how some elephants are girls and some are boys.
She graduated from a toddler bed to a twin bed this weekend. Thanks Sherrie and Bill for the bedroom set that used to be Carlie's. She's also reverted to wetting the bed again after being dry for months. Good thing we left the plastic on the mattress! I'm crossing my fingers that it's 'just a phase' and will stop once our lives get a little more back to normal. Here she is in her bed trying to fit her sister's entire head into her mouth (actually just kissing her).
Jeremy and I joked that the phrase "terrible two's" is actually referring to the number of kids you have and not the age of the child. But needless to say we love them both and wouldn't know what to do without either of them.
