Poop

A new first at our house... Greta has been practicing sitting on the potty after bath. And tonight she did the same. Mommy on her potty. Greta on her potty. And a baby doll in the little potty. She doesn't go but sits there.... Good practice I think! 

Well tonight she decided to go poop... Just not on the potty. Instead she went in the living room on the carpet.  A big ol turd! Not quite sure when she did it, and luckily Ryan found it before we went to bed. 

Then she was concerned about it. And kept saying poo poo.

Proud I guess that she didn't go in her diaper. And laughing like crazy!!

Bath is fun again

Finally we've overcome the fear of the bathtub! Hallelujah! No tear. Fighting. 5 second baths! 

Oh it's a great feeling!!


Molars oh my!

Greta has had a fever the last couple days and I was thinking it was teeth but never guessed which ones! Before this, she just had the 2 bottom front ones and 1 top front one. Well not anymore!! 2 top molars came through!! Looks so funny because of all the holes where teeth are still missing. Hopefully they will start filling in.


A funny picture Ryan snapped as I ticked here so we could see the new teeth.

Garden harvest in high gear

Our garden is going crazy! We have so much stuff and there are only 3 of us! So this weekend we froze beans. It was a family effort. Ryan and I cut and Greta helped "snap" the beans - she didn't do too bad. She also helped wash them. We did 8 bags of green and 5 yellows. More to come!


Plus the zucchini are going crazy as well. I think I have 7 in the frig now. Not sure what I'm going to do with them all. 

Banana peppers like crazy as well! Broccoli is great! Kale I don't like and we have tons! 


The sweet corn is almost ready. Yeah! 


And the spaghetti squash or what should be this year is looking good too. 


Think I'm going to have to put a Greta's Garden stand out front.

Not feeling well

We'd been doing so good. Greta hadn't been sick in a long time - well for her standards. But the yucky bug has struck. Lots of coughing and being tired and clingy. After day care. Allied yesterday around lunch to let me know how much she was coughing, I called the dr. And they got us in that night. Good news - no croupe or pneumonia. Bad news - it's a cold with no real way to treat it. Last night we started up the breathing treatments again. Greta now has an inhaler but she wanted no part of that so we sat for 10 minutes watching Curious George and me struggling to keep it in front of her month. 

After a long night... More for mommy, hopefully ah will have a better day. She's still sleeping now.

Waiting for a ride

Ryan got the seats back in the Chevelle and Greta wanted to sit in it.

Then she kept asking for a ride.





Outdoor fun!

Greta loves being outside.  Just ask her and she'll tell you.  Outside.

After her nap we took a walk to the barn.  After doing some weeding in the garden, I asked Ryan to fill up the tub for Miller... figuring Greta would also enjoy splashing around.  Well... as I was filling up the tub, Greta walked behind Ryan's truck... and when I talked back to see what she was doing, she was standing in the middle of a big puddle.  Shoes and all.  And was so proud of herself.  As I go to get Ryan, she gets tired and sits down.  Oh my!!


Then she goes over to the tub and gets in!





So funny!
