dreams of flight

Tonight, I rocked Novak before bed, as he was looking out the window at the back yard.

"Mommy, can I fly?"

"No, honey, you can't fly."

"Can I have wings?"

"I'm sorry, only birds have wings.  People don't have wings.  Wouldn't it be great if we did?  Would you like to be a bird?"

"Yes."

"What color bird would you be?"

"Blue."

"Oh, I like blue.  You'd be a pretty blue bird."

"Can I be red?"

"Sure, you can be red."

"Can I be a red cardinal?"

"Yes, you can be a red cardinal."

Two trees, a bush, and bluebirds

Can you see them?

By the way, "these are Mountain Bluebirds because they don't have red on them."
