dreams

I don't often remember my dreams, but last night I did.  I dreamt that Chloe stood up and walked across the room, woo-hoo!  Since Ryan and I were running ahead of schedule this morning, I took a minute while he was eating his breakfast to ask him if he knew what dreams were.  We talked about dreams and how your mind pretends things while you sleep and sometimes you remember when you wake up.  So I told him that I had dreamt last night about Chloe walking.  He then told me that he had dreamt last night also.  He was at the tennis courts for the neighborhood Halloween party.  He was wearing his bat costume and then he started flying.  It was so great to listen to him talk about his dream. 

Anyways, it was just a really neat conversation.  I felt like we were actually talking, there was no agenda, no plan, no pulling teeth to get information, it just flowed naturally.  We were bonding, you know?!  So often I feel like I have to ask leading questions, and he usually gets silly or distracted and gives one word answers.  Which is fine, he is a six year old boy after all.  But, I don't know, this conversation was just special and really nice :)
