Ahem.
One of the best parts of our Wisconsin farm trip was the time we were able to spend with Thisbe (and her parents). The two of you were insanely adorable / cute/ playful and sometimes you both were irritable/ whiny/ grabby/ tattling little monsters. It was quite exhausting and fun (most of the time). The two nights / three days was just enough quality time. I think as the two of you get older the "I want what she has just because she has it" syndrome will subside. Every toy, book, food, drink, experience had to be done two-fold for both you and Thisbe. God forbid one of you get something the other did not have. Big Nora had it right when she made you a quilt for your baby dolls and then gave Thisbe one exactly like it! Genius for your toddler minds!
If you look at the pictures one would think you and Thisbe had a jolly time chilling out together, walking, reading, planting flowers with great-grandma, and hugging. If you watch the videos, you will think how did their parents survive their time together? Oh the screeching! The non-stop movement! The craziness!
I wish we lived closer to Thisbe (and her parents). However, even with the time and distance between seeing Thisbe, somehow it only strengthens your relationship with her. Each visit the two of you grow closer, more fun, more like actual friends. It is heart-warming to watch. You are one lucky girl to have a cousin who is so close in age. I know the two of you will be life-long friends.
For now I will hold onto the memories of you and Thisbe as 2 and 3 year olds running around the farm in the sunshine squealing and laughing, exuding pure joy and love for life. What a great way it was to welcome in summer.
