"Do-Do-Do"

Last night I was cleaning Tessa's room (everything in the closet, drawers and bins had been removed from their proper location). Tess refused to help and I was too tired to be a good mom and insist that she help, but Greta was willing. As we worked, she was singing "Do-do-do-do". I started paying attention to what she was saying and I was able to figure out that she was singing our clean up song. "Cleaning our room is fun to do, fun to do, fun to do; Cleaning our room is fun to do, to do, to do, to do." (For tune click here.) I was tickled pink! And I was thankful she felt like singing when I did not. Small and simple things do make a big difference!

One other thing about Greta. She has started loving underwear. (I like diapers a lot more than messes so I'm in no hurry to jump on that ready marker.) With this love, she insists on wearing them. Thankfully she is willing to wear them over her onesie. On Sunday while at a meeting Tom was giving the girls a bath. He peeled off underwear after underwear. There were so many he decided it was worth a count. When I got home he asked me if I knew how many pairs she had on. I guessed with what I thought was high: 7. Nope. I was wrong. She had on 12! She is so funny!

Later. . . .Greta brought out a pile of undies (and some diaper covers from baby dresses) for me to put on her. 8 in all this time. Here is a picture:

I really wonder how she even walks in them. . . but it is good protection if she should fall!
