Ode to Dreamer

Monday night was "Meet the Teachers" night at Lynnwood Elementary.  Pleasure asked me to come sit with the kids while she attended.  JD was at the fire station preforming his firely duties. (Whatever firely means)

When I arrived at their house Sunshine and Dreamer were engrossed in Charlotte's Web.  Little Miss Boo was sitting in her bouncy seat looking at angels flying 'bout the ceiling and Tornado was spinning around the house kicking up dust.

I settled into the mix in perfect rhythm, playing hide and go seek with Tornado, rocking Little Miss Boo and coaching Sunshine and Dreamer to eat and then clean up the kitchen.  Home sweet home.


When Pleasure returned she told us about her evening and how happy she was that her children had such devoted, positive teachers.  Sunshine and Dreamer were all ears as she relayed compliments for each.

Before I said my good byes, Dreamer informed me that he had not been adequately featured on my blog.  I could tell that he was feeling a bit skipped over.  So today is my ode to Dreamer.  Seldom do I get a picture of him that is print worthy.  He runs from my camera or turns his back or wiggles beyond focus.  Monday night, however, I got him square in my lens.  I hope you can get a sense of his captivating personality from the few pictures I share today.  He keeps us all in stitches.

 I caught him off guard watching television

Are you getting his energy yet?

When I told Dreamer that I needed some pictures of him to feature him on my blog he really started playing to the camera

As only Dreamer could do, he introduced us to the newest member of the family... his bear, named Shadow

Before the photo shoot ended, both Dreamer and Sunshine were in high form

As I was leaving their house Pleasure said, "Keep your camera ready, Yaya.  The moon is beautiful tonight."

She was right.  I clicked this from my car window while driving through their neighborhood toward home.

I hope you feel completely featured in someone's life today.  I hope you let your inhibitions go and play to the world's camera.  I hope you find yourself in stitches and give yourself permission to tell someone what you need.  They just might listen.
