Sweet dreams

I have found it interesting to listen to Walter go into to detail lately about his dreams. Most of the time of course he dreams about trains, but, yesterday he dreamt that there was a talking pig and a talking sheep and that the sheep was chasing him so he ran into his room and shut the door. Wow, just never know what goes through those little minds, but on another hand I guess it isn't too surprising considering how many animals "talk" in children's stories. I clearly remember as a child believing that my stuffed animals where all going to "come alive" when I wasn't looking just like the Corduroy stories. Rose E has been telling me a little about her dreams too. This morning I asked her if she had any and she said nodded yes and said "playing Walter." Most mornings this little girl wakes up though and the first thing that comes out of her mouth is "see Daddy" (not that she isn't happy to see me but there is just something special about that Daddy of hers). She is definitely getting a little mind of her own. I had to laugh because both kids wanted to play with a balloon this morning (of course we only had one) and so she was holding it and I said "Rose E, Walter wants you to throw the balloon to him so you can bounce it back and forth" and she said "no thank you" and ran away with it.
