<\/p>\nHey everybody! It’s been a while since “I wrote”:\/news\/author\/lucy\/, so I thought it was about time to check in and let you know how fabulous life is now that I’ve got a little sister to snuggle. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m having such a blast getting to know Rosie. Yeah, she doesn’t say much, and she doesn’t really do much yet, but I’m totally digging the times I get to hug and kiss her. She’s sort of like my baby doll, except not so freaky with the wide-open eyes all the time!<\/p>\n

I’ve got to give a shout out to my homie Maddy G. for the tips on how to meet a baby sister — I watched “this video”:http:\/\/www.xanga.com\/Maddylou\/642021669\/when-maddy-met-lydia.html last month of her meeting her own newborn sister, Lydia, I’d say oh approximately one zillion times before I had “my own visit”:\/news\/2008\/sister-hats\/ to the hospital to meet The Roz. Thanks, MG! You really helped me to get psyched.<\/p>\n
The parental units seem to be handling all the changes pretty well. Good old Ma “cries sometimes”:\/news\/2008\/mood-swinging\/, but what else is new? I must say that I’m feeling the adjustment pains a little bit too, but nothing that a good tantrum can’t purge — and, hey! I’m almost two, so I’m entitled to have a tantrum here and there anyhow.<\/p>\n
Maybe one of the best parts of our life-in-transition around here is how much I get to watch videos, especially my favorite “They Might Be Giants”:http:\/\/www.theymightbegiants.com\/ Friday night video podcasts. These are awesome, and I recommend them to everyone! (Here’s a link that will “load them in iTunes”:http:\/\/phobos.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewPodcast?id=268647482 for ya.) The old folks say that it’s “the Muppet Show for the new millennium.” I don’t know about that, but TMBG totally rocks. (Don’t be fooled, though: they’re not really giants.) They’re so educational that I’ve seriously learned to count to ten occasionally, and this claim has been verified by impartial observers, not just Grandpa, who’s prone to exaggerate, the poor old guy. Other times, I like to start at “five,” so I guess I’ve got a little work yet to do. Anyhoo, educational, schmeducational: even Aunt Linda agrees that those They Might Be Giants tunes are groovy — so that _proves_ it!<\/p>\n
Well, gotta run! Mamacita needs my help with Rosie’s diaper change!<\/p>\n
Stay cool,<\/p>\n
