She talks... In her sleep.

She's talking a ton during the day, that's been happening for a while. She gives a running commentary on things she sees, (insistently, until I acknowledge what she's observed.) And now, she's having vivid dreams and talking in her sleep.

About two weeks ago she woke up in the morning holding her hands out to me: "Wash hands, wash hands." When I asked her why her hands were dirty, she said, "Pizza." Its nice that she's worried about cleanliness even in her dreams. In the middle of a recent night, she didn't wake up, but was plainly tormented: "MINE, not yours. MIIIIIINE. Share." Crying... then wailing, "Ouuuuch." Such subtleties the subconscious conjures, whatever could she be processing? During the worst one, she must have been dreaming about a tantrum. She woke up in the middle of a full blown, thrashing display of toddler discontent and it took several laps around the house to calm her down. Since I barely remember my dreams, all the credit for the night life in her head goes to Calvin's side of the family. There, she is in good company, as pretty much everyone has sleep walking/talking stories. We'll have to keep a good eye on her, even when she's asleep.
