The World Is Made Of Spaghetti




So I'm just sitting here and I can't sleep at all. Luckily, I don't have to go to school until Tuesday. But anyways, I'm just sitting here and I can hear Dakota snore and I must say, it's just adorable! He looks and sounds so peaceful when he sleeps (even though he sleeps in the most awkward positions as you can see in these pictures). He always tells me about his dreams. Even though half of the time they're bad dreams, it's interesting to actually sit down and listen to him tell me how and what he dreams. He gives me so much detail it's like I'm actually there in his dreams. I always wonder what goes on in his mind. What does he know? What is he feeling? What does he think about? He's so full of life and has so much fun all the time, and I love that about him. How he has SO much energy that he could share some and STILL have more. When it's just me and Dakota, he's such a different kid, but definitely in a good way. He's always better when he's only with one other person. But when he's particularly with me, it's so different and unexplainable. He always wants to play games, and he's SO good at making up new games. He loves to take funny pictures, and even hold the camera and actually take pictures by himself. Sometimes I just wish I could be him for a day. Just to see his perspective on life. One day, him and I were just out in our field and laying on our quilt making pictures in the sky, and he told me that the world is made out of spaghetti. And he told me that it's made of spaghetti because we're all connected. Some things he says, I think is just hilarious...but when I think about it harder, yes they may be funny, but that's just how Dakota sees things: as funny. He's the funniest person I know, and he knows just what to do and say to put that smile on my face. Over the summer, Dakota wanted to "make a band". So he gets our his guitar and I get out mine, and he also gets out his drums and says, "Ok, that's make a band! We'll call it....THE HOKEY POKEYS!" No idea where The Hokey Pokeys came from, but I went with it. I start to play my guitar and he plays his drums and right in the middle he shouts, "CUT! CUT! CUT!....I GOTTA USE THE BAFFFROOOM!" He's just hilarious! Well, I could go on and on about Dakota, but I really need to TRY and go to sleep. So, I hope everyone has a GLORIOUS day today. I know I will, and I'll talk to you cool cats later! =]
