Rewind: Toilet Paper

Gwen wasn't an "easy" infant in some aspects. She wasn't a great sleeper. Correction: She was a terrible sleeper. She had some medical problems that took a while to work themselves out. We were at the doctor much more that I would have liked to be. She also had trouble gaining weight just like Fiona does now. I worried about her quite a bit.

Despite some of the trouble we had with her, Gwen was definitely easy in one aspect. She never got into anything. She didn't get into the cabinets. She never opened drawers. In fact, sometimes I wondered, "What's wrong with her? Doesn't she realize that those things open and there is stuff inside of them?"


She didn't splash in the toilets. She didn't pull (too many) of my books off the shelves. She never climbed up on the kitchen table to guzzle half of a bottle of maple syrup. Not that I know anybody who has.... She quickly learned not to mess with the DVD player. We had to do minimal child-proofing because she was so easy.


For those that haven't been as fortunate, don't be a hater. Just refer back to the first paragraph.


Gwen's also never been one to unravel the toilet paper. Quite the opposite, actually. If it comes unrolled even a few inches, she is very careful to make sure that she rolls is back up. One of the few times Gwen has made a mess with toilet paper was at Grandma Bean's house when she was two years old. Even then, the damage was minimal. I love the sweet little guilty look on her face.

She is so cute! Harrison is somewhere inbetween - not too bad but i will say that given the opportunity, our bathroom would like this picture every day! Except she looks remorseful and he never would :]
