guest post by greta goo

hi. i'm greta goo -- the newest addition to the wisner family. i was told by my mom that it was my turn to post on the day's events. and because of my good nature, i was happy to oblige. i am typically always happy to do anything. that is who i am. however, i don't seem to smile for pictures yet. though, that's ok because my mom says she hates the "say cheese" face in kids' pictures anyway.

today was a good day. it started with my mom and brother getting to lay in bed together watching blues clues and eat eggos. my brother LOVES eggos! then, my mom assumed i was awake at about 8:45 (yes -- 8 in the morning). i was actually awake before then, but since i'm such a great baby, i don't make a lot of noise in the morning. i was SO PUMPED when my mommy came in that i gave her a big smile, which is REALLY hard for me because have you seen my cheeks? they really get in my way. so i ate my breakfast with my mommy and my brother was in a good mood. i like when he's a good mood. he makes a LOT of noise when he's not in a good mood. the best part of my day was at about 9:30 this morning when my dad made a surprise visit back home! yipee! we all love daddy. he had his 2nd interview in dallas (yes, dallas; that means he might not have to drive very far to get home to see us anymore). he wasn't in a very good mood at all because he told mommy that it didn't go very well. poor daddy. he and big h went outside to play, and i sat in my little bumbo seat that i have grown to love these days. i watched her dry her hair, which i pay close attention because someday i will have to learn to dry my own hair. we went out to get the boys and we did it -- we headed to the pumpkin patch. this was not the one my mommy wanted to go to, but daddy needed to get home for another interview (his 3rd). we got there, and my brother went crazy with all of the pumpkins. he has decided that he wants to be a "pong-kin" for halloween instead of buzz lightyear, which is surprising because he talks about "to infinity and beyond" all the time. then, they wanted to take pumpkin pictures, but it appeared that the rest of dallas also came to take pumpkin pictures. also, i am pretty sure that every school in dallas took their pumpkin patch field trip to the arboretum today. YIKES! after a while of taking pictures and soaking everything in, i expressed a need for some food. i don't know if my mom has told you about my aversion to some specific meal locations. for example, i do NOT care for eating in public restrooms. but there did not appear to be any other place my mom could feed me other than in front of the arboretum dallas kindermusik class. i've got issues with specific places to eat, and mom has issues with feeding me in public. just not her thing. plus, it's pretty hard for her to be inconspicuous with her big a-- breastfeeding pillow. :) so in true greta fashion, i obliged and ate in the public restroom. but here me now...i did NOT like it. then, we went and played with big in the water fountains. and then mom and dad decided it was time to go home. i fell asleep on the way home and so did my big brother. i transferred from my carseat to my crib and took a 2-hour nap. big h, however, did not. but it was fun. i heard that he and my mommy laid in their bed together and watched little einsteins and ate their chick-fil-a together. i'm pretty sure if my mommy had to eat chick-fil-a everyday for the rest of her life, she wouldn't put up a fight. daddy left when i took my nap because he had a 3rd interview. mommy and henry prayed for him, that he would be articulate (whatever that means) and that the lady interviewing would be impressed with his knowledge base and his character. oh, and my daddy looks so nice in a suit. my mommy talked about it all day.

i woke up at 4, and mom fed me on the couch while henry played superman with a blanket on his shoulders crying out, "mommy, i'm flying! baby, i'm flying." i'm not really sure how he doesn't know my name yet, but he just continues to call me baby. i keep wanting to quote dirty dancing. but i think that would show him up if i started to talk at 3 months, and he didn't start talking until 3 years.

speaking of, i find it funny that my brother had a speech delay because the kid talks all the stinking time. he literally never stops. and he also makes a LOT of noise. never a dull moment around here.

anyway, we went outside, and henry played trains and rode his roller coaster. i sat in my bumbo seat and just enjoyed the nice weather while looking cute. that's what girls are supposed to do, right? we went in for my mommy to fix dinner. it always surprises everyone when my mommy fixes a meal. tonight it was pasta and bruschetta. way to go, mommy. daddy came home from his interview a lot happier than before. mommy said she prayed this afternoon for him and that she knows God has us in His hands. who is this God/Jesus fella? guess i should ask about Him soon.

my mom woke me up, and i got to sit in the bathroom while henry took his bath. they read stories and laughed. henry had to talk to a LOT of people on his cell phone. he kept having to tell people he was busy reading stories with his mommy, daddy, and baby. (greta, henry. it's greta!) i just sat and looked cute. still couldn't do a lot of smiling because with these cheeks...well, you know.

we (they) put henry to bed, and then it was off to my favorite part of the day. i got to get in my jammies (girl ones, thanks to mommy's friend davis) and nuzzle up to my mommy when it was dark and quiet and eat and go nighty night.

overall summary of the day. great to get out on such a beautiful day. great to be with my whole family on a non-weekend day. great to look cute. :) great to have a couple of really good naps. i do love naps.

tomorrow is a school day for big h, and mommy has NO plans, which means it's a day just the two of us. i love my mom. hopefully she'll just put me down for a much anticipated nap and perhaps take one herself.

some pictures. first of all, me at 3 months...

here we are in my bed when henry woke me up from my nap and got in my bed. sometimes he's not very gentle, but i love the guy...
