Trina is such a neat kid. She's learning everyday how to move and operate in the world that we live in. She's not "needy". She just likes what she has and deals with it. So I thought it would be nice to get her a Dora the Explore backpack. I didn't like the ones on the market which were just backpacks with Dora's picture on them. I wanted her to have a real backpack. So I did some searching and I found it. Do I need to tell you that she was excited? Last night DW and I were talking about it. I told her that I felt good getting her the backpack because it will help foster her little imagination. When she want to sleep last night (with the backpack on) she said "Night daddy". The tone of it was that she had something to do and she was excited about closing her eyes and going to sleep. I translated that as she dreams some of the things she does during the day. So by cutting off the TV and playing Dora and putting stuff in the backpack she might go to bed and continue her exploration. She woke up today and the first word I heard her say was "Jesus" and "Lord". Not sure what she dreamed about last night, but it she sure woke up talking about the Lord. I just hope we can help foster her imagination and growth.
