The other morning, Abby snuggled in bed with me for a bit before we all got up for the day. Dexter was at the foot of my bed and he started whimpering and making strange sounds and breathing heavily. Abby was quite upset until I told her he was just having a bad dream. We 
both got up, I woke Dexter up and Abby went upstairs to get dressed. Dexter followed. When we got upstairs, Aine was awake and Abby explained to her that Dexter was having a bad dream. Aine tried to hug and talk sweet to him (high pitched voice) and then Abby joined in asking Dexter what he dreamed about, why he was scared, if he was OK now, etc. She even told him she had bad dreams sometimes and if he was 
scared he could come sleep with her (my biggest night-time chicken being so brave). Well, it was all very sweet. It almost appeared like the three of them were having an actual conversation based on the expressions on their faces. After the "talk" Dexter climbed up on Abby's bed and got quite comfortable.

I wish I had my video camera...
The kids had a choir concert last night - it was great. I will get my pictures on here tomorrow and give the highlights.
Take care and hope all is well with everyone
