<v Speaker 1>Enough about that, let's get too today's super Live a

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Lewis story. Levi Ivy, Are you too paying attention? Asked

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Ivy's mama she talked to her kids at

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen table one morning, Sorry, mom answered Levi, as

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>if he was waking up from a dream. I was

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 1>just thinking of something and must have gotten lost in

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>my thoughts.

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Same here, mom said, Ivy.

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>You too are daydreamings, said their mom with a smile

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>on her face. I used to daydream all the time

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>when I was a kid. What's daydreaming, asked Levi said,

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 1>very interested in the answer.

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>I love dreaming.

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>At night, So it's cool to hear that there is

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a way for me to dream during the day too. Well,

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>it's very similar to dreaming at night, began Levi's mom.

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>It's when your mind wanders, like you're making up a

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>story in your head. You could be thinking of something

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>that you did that day, or something that you're gonna do,

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:31.759
<v Speaker 1>or you could create something fanciful and magical. Wow, that's

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>really cool, mom, answered Ivy. I wonder if your daydream

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:40.199
<v Speaker 1>could ever become your night dream. That would be so fun,

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>added Levi. You know, that's a very good question, and

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>one sadly I don't have the answer to, said Levi

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and Ivy's mom.

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 2>But maybe you'll get the answer one day.

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>However, right now, you have to stop daydreaming and start

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>getting ready for school.

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Levi and Ivy got.

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Dressed, brush their teeth, grabbed their school and headed out

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the door, all the time daydreaming about well, daydreaming, thinking

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>how cool it would be if they could take their

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.399
<v Speaker 1>daydream and make it into their night dream. How cool

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>would that be if we got to pick our own

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>dreams at night, asked Levi as he and Ivy walked

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>onto the playground at their school. I think we should

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 1>test it out tonight, replied Ivy, and then see if

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>we can make that what we dream about when we

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>fall asleep. Levi was up for the challenge, and that

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>day at recess, he and Ivy found a quiet spot

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>in the playground, sat down and started to daydream. Levi

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>had a game coming up the next day, which he

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:38.119
<v Speaker 1>had been thinking about a lot.

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 2>He decided to focus.

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>His daydreaming on hitting a home run that would win

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the game in the last inning. His eyes sparkled as

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>he imagined how it would feel to win the game

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 1>for his team. Ivy had really been into art lately

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>and had just turned into painting. She made to a

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>local art contest being held that her neighborhood library. The

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>winner was going to be announced that weekend. Ivy day

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>dreamed about what would be like to win the big

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>prize of having her artwork displayed in the library and

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>getting a free week of art lessons with her art

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>teacher at school, who just so happened to be her

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>favorite teacher. Ivy and Levi's smiles grew bigger and bigger

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>as they daydreamed about the possibility of their dreams actually

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>coming true. Then suddenly the bell rang to end recess,

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>shaking Levi and Ivy back to reality. Wow that was

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a good day dream, said Levi as they walked inside.

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Mine was awesome, too, replied Ivy. I hope I get

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>to dream about it more tonight. And wouldn't it be amazing? If?

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Levi started to say, before he stopped and shook his head.

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>What wouldn't what be amazing? Asked Ivy, curious to hear

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>what her brother was going to say. I was just thinking,

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>what if we could take it one step further and

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>actually dream about something so much that we actually make

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>it happen in real life, said Levi, waiting to hear

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>how a sister would respond to his delight. Ivy was

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>very interested in this idea.

0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>She told her.

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Brother that she truly believed they dreamed hard enough that

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe they could make their daydream turn to night dream

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>come true. But first they had to see if they

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>would actually dream about their daydreams. When they went to bed.

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>That night, after school, Levi and Ivy raced home. They

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>did their homework and ate dinner before they normally would.

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.719
<v Speaker 1>But then Levi and Ivy did something they had never

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>done before. Good Night mom and dad were going to bed,

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>they said, as they started to walk up the stairs

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to their bedroom. What exclaimed their dad? You two are

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 1>voluntarily going up to bed?

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 2>You want to go to sleep?

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>We sure do, said Levi, looking at Ivy with a smile. Yep,

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 1>sleep is a really important dad, giggled Ivy as they

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>hugged their parents good night and ran upstairs to bed.

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 1>That night, Levi and Ivy closed their eyes tight and

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 1>thought about the wonderful things they had been dreaming about earlier.

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 1>As they drifted off to sleep, they could see their

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>daydreams playing out before them like they were watching the movie.

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Ivy then had the best dreams they'd ever

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 1>They both seemed so real and larger than life. Levi

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>won his big game and was carried around the field

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>on his friend's shoulders as the crowd cheered loudly, and

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Ivy stood proudly in front of her painting at the library.

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>She was given a certificate for winning the art contest.

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>As soon as the sun rose the next day, Levi

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and Ivy's eyes opened wide. They couldn't wait to check

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 1>in with each other to see if their day dreams

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>came true.

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 2>In their night dreams. It didn't take long for both

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 2>of them to realize that they had. They talked over their.

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Dreams, replaying each part and wondering what would happen next.

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 1>After all, they were able to make their daydreams play

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.239
<v Speaker 1>out in their night dreams. The next step was making

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>those dreams come true in real life. The day went

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.039
<v Speaker 1>on as normal, well at least as normal as it

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 1>could go on for two kids that could control their dreams.

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>But then before he knew it, Levi was standing at

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>home plate during the bottom of the ninth inning of

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>his big baseball game. However, this time it wasn't a dream.

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>It was really happening. The score was tied and the

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>winning run was on third. Each pick looked better than

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>the next. But if Levi's dream was going to come

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>true just as he saw it, then he had to

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>wait for the fourth pitch, and he did. Levi swung

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.480
<v Speaker 1>hard as the fourth pitch sailed across the plate, his

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>bat made contact, and then, as if in slow motion,

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 1>as if he was dreaming, Levi washed as the ball

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.039
<v Speaker 1>leapt off the end of the bat, soaring into left

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>field and over the outfield fence. Home run screamed the

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.840
<v Speaker 1>crowd and all of Levi's teammates as they watched him

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>win the game with a walk off homer. As Levi

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.719
<v Speaker 1>crossed home plate, his teammates picked him up and carried

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>him around the infield, shouting and cheering his name.

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Levi could have.

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Not been happier or more amazed at what had just happened.

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.159
<v Speaker 1>After his teammates put him down, he ran over to Ivy,

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.359
<v Speaker 1>who was celebrating with his parents on the bleachers.

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.719
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe it. I made my dream come true,

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 2>exclaimed Levi. That was incredible. It was just like you told.

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Me it would happen, replied Ivy as she jumped around

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>with her brother. I can't wait for the art contest

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>this weekend. And soon enough, the day of the art

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>contest arrived. Ivy stood in front of her painting, waiting

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>as the librarian thanked everyone for participating and read the

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>winner's name.

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 2>And wouldn't you know it was Ivy.

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Congratulations, Ivy, said the librarian as she handed Ivy as certificate.

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>This is just how I dreamed it would happen. Ivy

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>whispered to herself as she waved to Levi in the

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 1>crowd that day, Levi and Ivy couldn't keep the secret

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>any longer. They had to tell their parents what had

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>been going on. When they got home, they all sat

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 1>down in the living room, where Levi and Ivy told

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>them everything. Levi explained to his parents how he knew

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 1>he was going to hit that home run, and Ivy

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 1>told them she was sure she'd win the art contest,

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and it was all because they dreamed it would happen.

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 1>These things both started out as daydreams, then we dreamed

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 1>about them at night, and then they really happened, said Ivy.

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I think we maybe magic.

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Whispered Levi to his parents, as Ivy nodded her head.

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Levi and Ivy's parents just smiled at them. They knew

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>exactly what was going on and were ready to explain

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>it to their kids. Levi and Ivy, you are definitely

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 1>two magical kiddos, for sure. But it's not because you

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>can control your dreams. Levi and Ivy's mom began to say.

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 1>It's because you worked really, really hard to make your.

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Dreams come true.

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>She's right, added Levi and Ivy's dad, Levi, you practiced

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 1>every day and worked really hard on hitting all season long.

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>That built up your confidence, so you were ready for

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>that ninth inning situation at your game. And Ivy, you're

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>always painting and learning new art techniques. That practice and

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 1>desire to learn and grow makes you better and better.

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Winning the art contest at the library was your reward

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 1>for all that hard work. Levi and Ivy liked what

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>their parents were saying, but they couldn't help but see

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>that their mom and dad weren't fully getting behind the whole.

0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Your kids are magic things, So what you're sa saying

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>is we don't have control over our dreams, asked Levi.

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 2>And we can't make what we dream about come true

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 2>in real life.

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.800
<v Speaker 1>No, replied Levi and Ivy's mom. Quite the opposite. Actually,

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 1>it just may not be the type of magic you're

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 1>thinking about. Well that's good, said Ivy, because I was

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>planning on daydreaming about an ice cream Sunday the size

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>of this couch tonight. Levi and Ivy's mom laughed before saying,

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you are in control of your dreams, but that control

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>comes from hard work, practice, dedication, and yes, sometimes a

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>little bit of hope and magic. A combination of all

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>those things makes your dreams a lot more likely to

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 1>come true. But even when those dreams don't come true,

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 1>you still walk away with something just as magical as

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 1>you look at it the right way, added Levi and

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Ivy's dad, And that bit of magic is called a

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 1>life lesson, a lesson that will help you improve in

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the future and maybe make your dreams come true the

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.680
<v Speaker 1>next time around. We're so proud of you both and

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>know you'll make many more of your dreams come true,

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 1>said Levi and Ivy his mom with a smile.

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:02.079
<v Speaker 2>And you'll do.

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>That through hard work and believing it can happen. If

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>you dream of yourself doing your best, you're more likely

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 1>to make that dream come true. Levi and Ivy definitely

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>liked what they had heard.

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it wasn't.

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>A truly magical event that happened when Levi hit that

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>home run or when Ivy won the art contest, but

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>it was something special, something that happened because Levi and

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Ivy were focused on making their dreams come true through

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 1>positive thinking, hard work, and just a little bit of dreaming.
