I have not posted in a while and thought you might like a Gretta update. First I am so proud to say, she is potty trained! Yeah!!! She wears and sleeps in her panties all day and all night. We have only had a few night time accidents and we get an occasional daytime accident when she gets to involved in playing or entertaining guests and forgets she has to go potty. But 95% of the time she is wonderful! I am surprised at how easy it was, it was all her I am sure, because I really had no idea what I was doing. I told her she could wear panties if she used the potty and that was pretty much all it took.
Gretta still thinks she is having a baby as well. So, she like to have her picture taken like mine. I've tried explaining that her baby is just pretend. Not sure that she is grasping the whole idea. She actually wanted to have an ultrasound the other day of her baby as well. Elijah smoothed that over. Not exactly sure what he said in the end but it worked. I know his first attempt was to tell her he would check her baby and she let him know pretty quick that he was NOT a Doctor. ha, ha...She is loving playing in the snow this winter. We have only been out a couple of times, becasue it is sooo cold, but she loves it. She makes snow angels, but she does her a little different, she likes to go face first in the snow. ha, ha.. she thinks it is hillarious.
She received a babydoll for Christmas and she takes very good care of it. We just went and saw a friend yesterday that just had a baby and whatever Kelli, the mom, did with her baby Gretta was trying to do the same thing with her babydolll. I got a glimpse of what my days will be like in 6 months or so. She is so sweet. I am so grateful to have her.
This was taken a couple of weeks ago she was "helping" Elijah do some work around the house. She had her bullseye flashlight, which I should tell you makes a horse trotting noise everytime she uses it. And a waterpaint brush that she kept referring to as her screwdriver. And then she had to put on her hat, because Uncle Lub wears a hat when he works. She followed Elijah everywhere. I am not sure how much he actually got done, but he loved her imitating him. It was fun to watch.
