Greta slept with a carabiner in her hand last night.  Did I mention it was positioned in her hand for 2 hours BEFORE bedtime, during her last bottle, being changed into her pajamas, storytime, rocking, and bedtime?  AND, it was STILL there when she was up this morning.  It continued to stay in her hand through her morning diaper change, morning bottle, morning cruise session through the television room.  Sadly, their adventure together came to a screeching halt when she was introduced to a magazine reorder insert.  Interesting.

She's definitely grown attached to some new toys, dropping her old crew.  Not okay for William, Alphonse, Gingerbread Man, and Farmer Ted.  Thankfully, Cyndl is still in the mix every night, offering Greta solace and comfort as she processes her day of cruising, Cheerio eating, and walking on squishy/circly feet.)

Remember this post.....


Greta's Starting Line Up, i.e., Her Gang
1. Jaleesa
2. Lamby
3. William
4. Vern
5. Ms. Cleo
6. Farmer Ted
7. Cyndl
8. Alphonse
9. JaMarcus Russell
10.Gingerbread Man (real original)
11. Cleo

I was lucky enough to have them stay still long enough to take this picture. (Missing from the picture is her musical dog, Julio Jones, as well as El Guapo, her trusty burro, and Veronica, Vern the Giraffe's life partner.)

It should be noted that Greta goes to sleep, at every nap and every night, with Cyndl, the mysterious white unicorn. She strokes her flowing locks and her sparkly horn. Through this activity, Greta is invigorated with strength, bravery, and courage. She is ready to face any opposition with Cyndl's great powers.

It should also be noted that Ms. Cleo, the musical dog, was Greta's first friend. Ms. Cleo has stuck around through hard times---NICU visits, teething, constipation, diarrhea, and nightmares. Thankfully, Ms. Cleo resonates the spirit of Clarence Clemons, famed saxophonist in the E. Street Band, who passed last year. Mr. Clemons has transferred his musicality into Ms. Cleo to help Greta relax and sleep.
