little talks

"Mommy, when I was walking back to my class after seeing the principal, I saw Mackala in the hallway.  She was cheering me on and waving her hands up and down."

Oh, she showed up at school?  How nice you saw her.

"No, she is with me everywhere I go...even birthday parties.  I can see her but no one else can. I can talk to her with my brain."

"Mommy, I was dreaming!  I had a dream!"

What was your dream about?

"I don't remember.  My brain knows but it won't tell me."

"Momma."

The word I have been dying to hear!  Yes, she has been saying "Momma" but only in reference to more food, not me.  Today, she called for me!
