Stop!!!

Ms. Bossy (aka Lizzy) is really starting to figure out how to get under Sydney's skin, or maybe she's just irritated with annoying sounds.  But lately, if Sydney is whining about something, she says to Sydney, "stop it, you a bad girl", which just sends Sydney into orbit.  She does not like to hear that from Lizzy and then she just starts screaming and crying, so Lizzy's naturaly reply is, "Sydney, STOP crying" (and she really does emphasize "stop". I just don't think Sydney likes taking commands from her little sister, but sometimes I kind of agree with Lizzy and let her carry on.  Jason and I just laugh, which doesn't help the situation at all because then Sydney feels like she has no one on her side.  Lizzy, on the other hand, could care less if I or anyone else tells her that she's a bad girl, all she says is, "no, Lizzy a good girl", and goes about her business.

Lizzy is also the same way with Savannah.  Every time Savannah barks, she tells her to "BE QUIET", or she says, "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Savannah, no barking".  Well, today, she just couldn't take it anymore.  Jason was out on business, and the three of us were sitting at the table eating (Savannah had already eaten and gone outside), but she was constantly barking at us for our food...she wouldn't stop...and I have to admit it was pretty annoying, but I was able to ignore it.  Afterall, it had been a long day, and I was starving, and I was definitely not getting up for the dog.  But all of a sudden, without saying anything, Lizzy got out of her chair (we had to retire the highchair by the way...Lizzy has no interest), went into the laundry room, got out the scooper, dumped some food in Savannah's bowl, and came back to the table.  So, I don't know if she's a really good helper or just can't stand annoying noises...but either way, it helped me out and was pretty darn cute!  I wasn't going to get up, but I had to snap a picture!
