On the way home last night....
Millie: Mom, wouldn't it be nice if we had a cow? Then we could have fresh milk, and fresh cheese... don't you think we have room to build a little stable?
Mom: Well, cows need lots of room to roam and eat grass.
Millie: Oh, I want to milk a cow though! That's my DREAM! It really is!
William: My dream is to fight a dragon.
Millie: Dragons aren't real! Do you mean you want to be a knight?
William: Yes, AND fight a dragon.
Millie: That's my farm dream, is to milk a cow. And my job dream is to be an artist -- which I already am, and a librarian who does story time with the kids, and to own my own restaurant that serves fresh food.
William: And me is going to be an artist who makes dragons!
Millie: And I want to invent gummy-land, where all the rides are made out of gummies (she then went on to describe gummy-land in great detail).
William: And didn't you realize?? I want to go to Lego-land!
Millie: And someday I want to go to London to see the crown jewels, and I want to go watch some of the real Olympics -- but not gymnastics. That's better on TV because it is close up. Maybe swimming. And then we could see the REAL medal ceremony! AND someday I want to find real pirate treasure that they buried when they sailed the seven seas.
William: Me too.
Be still my heart! I love it when they share their dreams with me. :)
this just about made me cry. i miss them SO MUCH. i can't believe how much they're growing up. i almost want them to stop so i can still see them as they are when i come!
