Your little Bri is a doll. Not too long after you and Chad left yesterday, She had some pizza for dinner. Then we gave a bath and washed her hair. After a lengthy bath, she said "uh,oh, I gotta tee tee". I lifted her out and she sat on our big commode with the smaller seat and tinkled. She said, “I did it!.” She also used her potty again last night before bed. She fell asleep about 8:45 on the couch watching Happy Feet. I put her to bed about 9:45, when it was over. She never stirred. She slept until 8:30 this morning, ate two scrambled eggs with shredded cheese melted on them and a piece of toast with honey, OJ and milk. Afterward, she said, “I ate a good breakfast!"
After her shower last night, I wanted to dress her up for a visit to the Brown’s. I didn’t call them, not knowing if she would really want to go, but she did. I put her tights on her and her sailor dress. She loved the big skirt. I told her to go look in the big mirror. I helped her stand on the vanity seat at my dresser. She held her arms out smiling. I slipped the hat on and she lit up and said,” I’m a CAPTAIN!” I was shocked. We’ve never heard her say that word, I don’t think. She ran to tell Pappy she was a Captain. I called the Brown’s and they were out, so we went upstairs and took photos. She possed and hammed it up, but because she was seldom still and our camera isn’t high-end, we got very few good shots. I’m going to send you some. The one attached is the final 3 ½ by that I put in the little frame to go on the boat. Terry told her we were going to put her picture in the boat and she said, “My name is on your boat.” She really has an excellent memory! Anyway we had fun. After the photos, she wanted to dance in the dress. Mostly, she like spinning so her skirt would flair out.
Love,
Gram Gram
Here's a picture with Pappy and me on his treadmill! Daddy, why are you lost in thought and humming, a polka? What IS polka anyways?
