Greta Style

Wearing a net on her head with her favorite friend of all: Tigger.

Greta loves Tigger...this actually seems like an understatement. Maybe she's actually the slightest bit obsessed with Tigger. She snuggles him while sleeping, carries him around much of the day, talks to him, shows him things, dresses him up, and reads many books about him. Sometimes she even refers to Papa as Tigger (he really should take this as a compliment!)
Besides Tigger, her bed is usually filled with a wide array of stuffies and dolls. We wonder where she has room to sleep! Here is a list of all the things she keeps in her bed: panda, dragon, Spot the Dog, a Madeline doll, another doll, Elmo, Pooh, Eeyore, sometimes a huge penguin, and sometimes even one, two, three or four baby dolls! We have tried in vain to shorten this list a bit, but she makes herself clear by throwing her friends back into her bed. She loves her bed, and loves to be surrounded by her imaginary friends. When we come in to look at her at night after she's fallen asleep we see that she always puts all her friends to sleep by laying them face down--but Tigger she keeps in her arms :-)
Playing dress up. Do you see the headband she's wearing as a necklace?
Greta walked around the house like this for quite awhile several days ago, her feet going clippety-clop down the hallway and to the door--and then she would say "Work" and "Bye Bye!"
I'm not sure she's wearing any in this photo, but Greta loves to put on jewelry. She has a little bag of bracelets, a necklace, some rings and some clip on earrings. She says "jewelry!" much to Matthew's dismay :-)
Greta is quite the gymnast. She loves to climb back and forth from this footstool to the couch.
Strong girl! Such concentration.
Here's a bit of yoga too!
