(Matthias's POV)

In my room playing with my dinosaurs, they're trying to find a new place to live like they do in Little Foot. A volcano came to burn up the home they were at, and now Rex is leading them to somewhere else. He only eats fish because he doesn't want his friends to worry that he'll eat them. He tried to eat plants like Sigmen the stegasouras, but it made him sick. But Dacle, the Tera... Ter-a-dak-tal, I think that's how you say it, Mama taught me last week that dinosaur name. It's the flying one. It's really cool and is a car-na-vor? He eats meat too like Rex. But smaller things like bugs and fish and stuff. So he taught Rex to eat fish too instead of his friends. It was hard, but he loved his friends and did it.

Mama says that's good. To do something you need to even if you don't want to or find it really hard. It's like when she has bad days, when she wants to stay in the bed, but she has been trying to do her day like normal. Or mostly normal. She says it's best to take bad days slow. That way it doesn't make them harder. It helps you not stay sad. I don't like when Mama's sad, but Papa says Mama can't help it. Wendy can't help it either. She's taking a nap in the living room, so I came in here to let her sleep.

I hope it makes her feel better.

Jesus, please help Wendy.

Mama says Jesus can help with anything.

My door opens, and Mama comes in. Sitting next to me, she's quiet for a moment before talking in her playful voice.

"You know, I'm pretty hungry."

I look at her grinning as her face is silly before she pulls me into her arms and pretend eats me.

"I think I'll have some of ribs."

She tickles me while play biting me which tickles me more.

"Om nom nomnomnom."

"Mama, no tickles, no tickles!"

She stops with the smile still bright. I love when Mama's happy.

"Okay, my Little Prince. But what about hugs and loves?" She holds her arms open with a not-real sad face.

I sit in her lap and give Mama a big hug. She kisses me all over my face.

"Mama, too many loves."

"Okay, but one last?"

I love when Mama gives me loves, but sometimes she gives too many. But sometimes I want too much loves.

"One more."

She gives me a kiss and then calms her words down.

"You know, I'm really proud of you, Matthias. You've been such a big boy, and helpful today. Thank you so much for that. I wanted to check on you before I make lunch. I'm making your favorite."

"Huh, Dino nuggies?"

Mama smiles again.

"Dino nuggies and waffle fries. I even made the special ranch last night. I know it's been a lot today, but do you think you can stay in your room until lunch? I'll come get you when it's done."
