GRETA DANCING





As she has watched her big sister carefully, Greta has also learned to love being a ballerina. I wanted to record a couple pictures of her moves. It's interesting. . . when she's doing ballet, she moves smoothly and gracefully around the room. When she's dancing otherwise, she does much more abrupt, chaotic moves.

Greta continues to make us laugh. She loves being silly and has recently started labelling herself that way. She says, "Dilly Deta" (Silly Greta) many times a day.

At bedtime these days, we have the same conversation (Greta loves repeat conversations). It goes like this:

G: Mama, nus.
M: Where should we nurse?
G: (running with delight to the nursing chair in bedroom and patting it with enthusiasm) White dah!! (right there)
M: (nursing her quietly)
G: (stops nursing and sits up) Manket ON! (Blanket on)
M: (gets blanket and wraps around her)
G: (smiling and cooing) Nitheanwahm, Mama, Nithanwahm. (Nice and warm, Mama. Nice and warm.)
