Makenna has been studying ladybugs all week at school. She loves coming home each day and telling us the new things she learned and we love to learn about them too. Well, on Thursday, Makenna went to bed with a fever (turns out she had strep). At about 12, she woke up and came in our room all dazed. Here is what I remember of our conversation:
Makenna: I can't move around in my room because there are ladybugs everywhere.
Me: Oh, there are no ladybugs, you must have had a dream about ladybugs.
Makenna: Yes there are, they are all over and I can't move!
Me: Let's go take a look.
We go in her room, which is pretty dark of course.
Me: Okay, do you see any ladybugs anywhere?
Makenna: (confused) Well, they were....they were right here...I saw them....
Me: Do you see them now?
Makenna: No.....
Me: Why don't you just lay down and go back to sleep.
Makennna: But I can't lay on my pillow or I will smash the big one!
Me: Why don't we take some Motrin. (her fever was pretty high)
After that she went to bed just fine and didn't remember it in the morning. Dreams can be so funny!
