Dreaming of Growing
Joel comes in the kitchen this morning and says,
“Mom, I had another dream that I was 7! I keep having dreams that I am 7! I am tired of having those dreams…”
Joel will be 7 in two months. I asked him if the dream was good – he said that it was. I then asked if he could tell me what it was about and he said, “I can’t remember becuase I’ve been having so many dreams about being 7!”
He’s not the only kid in this house looking forward to adding a digit. I spied Olivia smiling at her fingers while she snuggled belly down on my bed. I had to ask, “What are you thinking about Olivia?”
“Oh, I am just thinking about being 4.” Then, as if she was presenting a trophy, she held up the four fingers she was smiling at and dreaming about.

So sweet! I used to look forward to certain ages. Now I’m just taking it one day at a time.
I remembering daydreaming about the next years birthday until I turned 21. Now I just daydream about going back to those years…
