Graham loves to snuggle. Here we are watching a PBS show with sea creatures. A Recent Conversation about Babies, Daddies, and Dreams (Caps means Graham gets very loud.) E: Did Evie's mommy have the baby yet? G: No, it is still growing in her tummy. E: Do you know if it is going to be a brother or a sister? G: It is going to be a sister. E: Oh? (Remembering now that I had heard they were expecting a boy.) G: I believe that brothers grow in daddies' tummies. The baby is growing in Evie's mommy's tummy [and therefore it must be a sister]. E: Wow! That would be neat if brothers grew in daddies' bodies, but that isn't how it works. All babies grow in mommies' bodies. You are a boy and you grew in my body. G: Oh. [Pause.] Tonight, I am going to dream that brothers grew in daddies' bodies. That is what I am going to dream! E: Cool. G: [Pause.] Last night, I had a dream that there were scary animals in your bed, a gorilla and an alligator. They were VERY SCARY. E: I remember that. What happened then? G: Daddy came upstairs and gave me lots of hugs. Then I wasn't scared. E: Daddy is great. G: Daddy is a GREAT hugger. You are a GREAT hugger. I am a good hugger. E: I think you're a great hugger. G: No, I don't give great soft hugs. I give HARD, HARD, HARD hugs and they are BIG HUGS, they are HUGE HUGS. I give good HUGE HUGS.
