Graeme's First Dream Recall

[windinthemaples]

Graeme: Mommy! Mommy!
Me (entering the bedroom): Good morning!
Graeme: I had a good nap.
Me: Oh, you did? Good!
Graeme: I made a big pig.
Me: You made a big pig?
Graeme: I dreamed I was a big pig.
Me: Oh, neat. Was it fun? What did you do as a pig in your dream?
Graeme (pantomiming as he goes): I had ears, a tail, and a back. Oh, and toes!
Me: Pig toes?
Graeme: Yes! What did you dream?
Me: Well, I dreamed I was on a boat in the ocean. A very little boat.
Graeme (looking around): Where is your boat now?
Me: Where are your pig toes now?
Graeme(laughing): That is so funny.

Another thing I hope to never forget--Graeme has been introducing himself to parents and children at the parks and libraries we're frequenting. Lately, he's taken to introducing me, too.

Graeme: Hi, I'm baby Graeme and this is my friend, Mommy. What is your name?

Sometimes I get upgraded to "my best friend, Mama". Ha! :D

So sweet! How do kids and parents respond when he introduces himself that way?

Hmm. Well, most parents seem a little fumbly/perplexed as they reply with their own names. Children either ignore him, don't hear him, or respond in kind. The parents I'm instantly in love with are the ones that engage with him and start a conversation. He's new to the conversational arts, so it is nice when big efforts on his part are rewarded. :)

I've got a looooooot of going back to do, especially since I'd love to read your entry on Diana's Grove! :)

That is so precious! :)
You guys would certainly brighten my day if you came into my library.

Awwww, so adorable!

Hehe, I went through a stage of introducing people too. Mum and Dad found it hilarious.

Awesome. Dot tries to tell me about her dreams, but it's usually impossible to figure out just what she's saying. On the other hand, she pretended to put me to sleep the other night and told me "Sweet dreams." I about died.

I'd love to see her and Graeme have a little conversation of their own.
