Dreamgirl

Lucy woke up and called for mama at 4am (ouch). When Sheri staggered in, Lucy excitedly said, "Mama, I had a pony behind my eyes." After a confused moment, Sheri said, "Ohhhhhhh, that's called dreaming! You were having a dream about a pony. What was the pony doing?" "The pony was riding on a hill," she said. They rocked a bit and sang Nanny's pony song and were all back to sleep in just a few minutes.

This morning, Sheri asked her more about it, like whether she was riding the pony. Lucy said "no," but elaborated that "the pony was riding a bicycle on a hill." It's the first time Lucy has ever been aware enough of a dream to talk about it. We talked about how dreams can be silly and anything funny can happen in a dream. It was one of those moments... wouldn't it be nice if all her dreams would be so happy.
