Sleepovers

I snapped this picture early this morning of this sweet little sleeping beauty and a not so little, but ever so sweet big sleeping bear. Whenever Tizita spends the night at our house, she likes to sleep between us in our California King sized bed. We always consent because, truth be told, we enjoy having her in there, too. Before bed, we put in a movie and then the three of us watch it until we fall asleep. As is usually the case, John and I doze off and never catch the end, but Tizita is always wide awake until the very end of the movie. During the night sometimes, we will hear her laugh out loud in her sleep and occasionally

we will hear her making some crying sad sounds, too. I assume she is dreaming and today I found myself wondering:

Is she dreaming about sleeping under a mosquito net on a mat in a hut in Ethiopia or under a Dora blanket surrounded by stuffed animals in her soft bed at home in Oshkosh?

Is she dreaming about eating a meal cooked over a fire in Ethiopia or a meal of chicken nuggets eaten here in a McDonald's?

Is she dreaming about the first family that loved her in a far away place or about this family that loved her and brought her to this new place?

Who knows? She is probably dreaming about bubbles, princesses, and swings, but that wouldn't have made for such an interesting post.

At any rate, we love our sleepovers just as much as she does and look forward to many, many more!
