Awww, how cute. Even random, accidental noises can "mean" something if you

want them to. Cute Mal stories...
I was woken up by a wee little earthquake in TJ last night. But, because it was not a school night, I just slept in all that much longer.
Someone should bring me pancakes, or waffles, or breakfast. I desperately need to go grocery shopping again but I fear it would be bad for my back to try it this weekend. My fidelity to Trader Joe's is about to be sorely tested by the fact that Vons will deliver..
I had a dream last night that I was playing with Lilybean, who was the age she is now, and was talking to me in complete, intelligible sentences, and carrying on a conversation with me. I turned to Plei and said "Oh my god, Lily can talk!" And Plei said "No, she can't." I said "She's talking TO ME!!" And Plei said "That's crazy."
And so I just started talking to Lily, instead. "Your mama doesn't think you can talk, because she's just not listening to you."
Lily: "I know, and it's driving me crazy! I think I should have just started with 'mama' or 'dada' instead of full sentences."
So, Plei -- is Lily conversing at an advanced level yet, and you just haven't told us? You know I have prophetic dreams....
(Of course, I also dreamed that Special Forces recruited me, and that I was hula-hooping with Rebecca Lizard.)
I turned to Plei and said "Oh my god, Lily can talk!" And Plei said "No, she can't." I said "She's talking TO ME!!" And Plei said "That's crazy."
OMG she's the magical killing baby from The 4400!
Huh. For once I am saddened that I don't remember what I dreamt about last night. I kinda like my Very Strange Dreams. They disturb other people but I usually am just amused by them.

She does chatter a lot, but it's not a Stewie levels yet.
Teppy, earlier this week I dreamed Annabel told me that she could understand us perfectly well, thank you very much, but she was waiting to talk until she could enunciate clearly. (She's still not saying much, but I'm starting to notice her kind of imitating and echoing more. And she seems aware of her tongue and has been sticking it out a lot for the first time, which makes me think the tongue tie has been an issue and is just now resolving enough that she has a good enough range of motion to talk. Which makes me incredibly pissed off at our pede for not snipping it when she was wee, because if that's all that's slowed her speech...grrr.)
The same night I dreamed I was the hero of my novel, fighting in the battle scene I'd just written for him. It's probably a good thing DH didn't try to get cuddly with me at any point during that one!
Lily: "I know, and it's driving me crazy! I think I should have just started with 'mama' or 'dada' instead of full sentences."
This is fantastic.
Meanwhile. It's almost 5 a.m. here. I think maybe I should be in bed by now.
How's your back, beth?
pretty good . I think it was just yelling at me to slow down.
Also, how are your Mississippi relatives doing?
no electricy, but they have been clearing the street themselves with the "boy toys" a neighbor has - including chainsaws and bulldozers. they live on a lake so they have been 'showering' there. and they hope to have running water soon.
Yay on the good kittie news!
