dream a little dream

sorry for missing our posting yesterday ... we were too sleepy to blog.

both monday and tuesday nights, jack awakened a little after midnight crying and shaken. we presume from nightmares. he told us "scared" so we can only presume ...

monday night he said, "i want mommy and daddy room," so a bleary-eyed michael brought jack into bed between us. an utterly konked out mommy did not even awaken. and a very drowsy jack saw mommy in a black shirt and immediately said, "i want to pet floyd" and began petting mommy's arm. when daddy told him, "no, that's mama, not floyd," jack happily said, "mama!" and snuggled down. mommy did not wake up for any of this.

eventually jack (who did not snuggle down for long) went back to bed in his own crib, and when he awakened tuesday night we already knew not to take him out of his own bed, despite his crying and pleas for "mommy and daddy room." instead we took turns bending over the crib, giving him hugs through the slats and soothing him (eventually) back to sleep.

and what do you know? no bad dreams and no wake-ups last night. fingers crossed that trend continues!
