Dreams and the big stage

Every morning, I ask Ella what she dreamed about. She always answers with "I slept like a princess." I just don't think she has really understood "dreaming." Well, I asked my routine question this morning and she answered,

"I dreamed I was on the big stage - in my purple dress. I was tapping with Elmo!" She smiled and giggled. Then she got all serious and sad. She said, "but the big kids wouldn't let me dance to the princess song!"

She is such a delightful child. Even though we butt heads a lot now (two independent, stubborn gals), she is such a blessing and I am thankful that God gave her to us!!!
