Dreams

Not too long ago (a month or so) you were waking up, so I came to get you out of your crib (yes, you still sleep in a crib) and I asked you the question I ask every morning. I asked you, "What did you dream about?" You almost always give the same answer. You say "bears." And I say, "And what were the bears doing?" You almost always answer, "Dancing."

I give this as background because I am pretty sure that you don't always dream of dancing bears. I think you most likely have different dreams every night, and that either A) You don't remember them or B) You don't know what the heck I am talking about. I mean, really, think about it, a dream is a pretty hard concept to wrap your head around when you are 2. And it's pretty hard to explain to a 2-year-old what a dream is.

So, a month ago when I came to get you out of your crib, I asked you the usual question. And this is how you answered, "Mommy, I didn't have any dreams because you took them and you threw them on the floor." In a very matter-of-fact, not really-upset-with-me kind of way. And my first thought was, "This is at age 2, what the hell am I in for at 13?"
