The older Goober gets, the more she talks in her sleep. It tends to run in my family. My middle brother has always talked in his sleep. Heck, he and my cousin would have sleep-talking conversations while on hunting trips with my G-pa and Uncle. So it's really no surprise that Lily has inherited this trait.
This week it has been especially entertaining, however.
On Monday night, she started crying and whining so I went to check on her. She was sitting up in her bed, asleep, and mumbling to herself. When I asked her what was wrong she told me "I just want to see the sun!", with big tears rolling down her cheeks. I told her she would see the sun in a few hours and to lay back down. She did, I covered her up and back to sleep she went. No big deal.
A couple nights later, it's the same thing. She's crying and crying, so I go to check on her again. Only this time it's much worse. I go through the routine "what's wrong, let's lay down, it's ok" but she won't stop crying. And the big issue tonight? When I asked her to tell me why she was upset, she wails "I just want big savings!"
Oh. Big savings. I even repeated what she said to make sure that's what she wanted. And yep, it was. My daughter was crying in her sleep over big savings. She finally calmed down enough to sleep, but only after crying and mumbling for several more minutes. Over big savings.
I'm curious to see where the next sleep-talking episode takes us but I'm not sure anything will live up to the humor of big savings.
