a farewell to soo-soos.

All indicators pointed to operation "get rid of the damn soo-soos already" being a hugely challenging endeavor. Rumblings of the "soo-soo fairy" coming to give Cam's soo-soos to a baby in need were met with "NO! I'm NOT a big girl!!". We decided to choose our battles carefully and the battle of soo-soo ridge was relegated to another day at some point in the future. Yesterday afternoon was "the future".

Cam, who has had the same nasty bug as the rest of us, has also inherited my sensitive skin.  The combination of a constantly running nose and the soo-soo being pressed against her face has given her a terrible rash around her mouth.  Yesterday it was particularly bad and I thought to myself "enough already".  I sneakily gathered up all of the soo-soos in the house and put them away.  Oddly enough, she didn't ask for a soo-soo for the rest of the day, not even at bed time.  This morning she looked up at the shelf where her soo-soo collection used to reside and asked me where all her soo-soos went.  I told her "we're all done with soo-soos, the soo-soos have gone away".  Cam looked at me and nodded and said "yes, I'm a big girl".  And it was that easy.  Go figure.
