If Dreams and Wishes Came True...

Just had to share something my granddaughter said the other day. I was taking her to daycare and she all of a sudden said "Darn it, my dream didn't come true!" I asked her what that was and she said "I wanted to fly!" I just had to laugh and wonder what other things she dreams of.

We lost a dog (hit by a car) in December. She still talks about how pretty Sugar was and that she is in heaven with wings. She said that when she sees her again she will be a big dog and pretty with dog wings.

She does have an imagination. We play Barbies and ponies and she can come up with some crazy ideas. We swim, dance and play.

It must be great to be a kid and have such images of things in our minds. To truly believe that dreams and wishes can come true. They can dream with no boundaries. They can dream of flying or being a famous dancer or President of the USA. My dreams consist of retirement and vacation later in the year. I have given up on being a famous dancer, flying or being the President!

In the summer Izzy and I sit outside and look up at the stars. "Star light. star bright, first star I see tonight...I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight." Hmmmmm...wonder what she's wishes for?

Kids can say the craziest things. If you have a small child or grandchild make notes of what they say. Art Linkletter had a show called "Kid's say the Darnest things"....he was right...they sure do!
