Little Lucia: ...to Dream

Pajamas are one of my favorite outfits on Lu, on Scout, on all little babies and kids. Matching tops and bottoms made of soft cotton, one pieced closed toe flannels, even summer shorts with matching tank tops...they just radiate innocence, sweetness and warmth-inside and out. We've been lucky to have been given so many great hand-me-downs, from Tallie Barrett, cousin Charley Hicks, Elizabeth Bobilya, Graclyn Lee and I'm sure a few more. I love sharing the clothes and knowing our sweet girls have worn the same...BUT it's fun to buy new too. Lucia is growing up AND growing and this weekend I bought her a simple and soft set of pj's from Costco (Sams and Costco truly do have great pajamas). I grabbed a light blue and pink flamingo set-2 tops and a bottom.
Last night she wore her flamingo print top and bottom...birds on a bird :) Tonight I put the other tee on her. Lu always looks so beautiful but seeing her in new soft pj's is an extra special burst of beauty. "I (heart) to Dream" was the print on the shirt. I looked at Lu in her tee and bottoms as she talked her talk and looked around the room with her big blue eyes and hands grasped together. I looked at her and read her shirt and wondered...I wondered about HER dreams.

Does my bird dream of flying? Does she dream of swimming? Does she dream of her sister and doggies? Does she dream of me? Does she dream of holding hands with friends and skipping through the playground? Does she dream of dancing and riding freely on her therapy horse Andy? Does my bird dream of me? Does she dream of playing dress-up with her cousin Charley or jumping off the diving board with her cousin Kayla? Does my bird dream of riding bicycles with her sister Scout and ringing a little bell? Does my bird dream of me? Does our bird dream of running along side her daddy at CrossFit or playing with their bars and weights? Does my bird dream of visiting her friends around the world and swinging with her boyfriend Giacomo? Does our bird dream of a speaking and sharing stories of her dreams? Does she dream of being a famous pianist and performing on stage or the next White Party? Does our bird dream of singing in a choir with a brightly colored robe? Does our bird dream of me? Does she dream of sitting and standing and handstands and feeding? Or sparkly cupcake baking and dress sewing and flower painting? Does our bird dream of me? Does she dream of signing or saying the words I. Love. You?

I dream that she does and I dream that she will and I know whether here on earth or one day in heaven YOU, our Lu will do all you have ever hoped and dreamed.
I dream of her beauty. I dream of her soft skin, her blue eyes, her button nose, her full lips and pillow feet. I dream of her songs and I dream of her smiles. I dream of her being her sisters biggest fan and her sister the same. I dream of growing old with our Lu for the rest of our lives. I dream of her innocence and her angelic presence. I dream of her every day.
I pray that some dreams may come true...I guess that is what dreams are all about. I hope my bird truly does 'love to dream'. We're here. We're a team of a mom and dad, two sisters, two dogs and many amazing special and loving therapists to help the dreams become reality..big or small.
I Heart to Dream about Lu.
