Bad dreams have been a part of our lives for a while now......Amanda wakes up at least once a week screaming and very often we must wake her to get her to stop being so upset. She kicks and screams, it is so sad!
But..my hubby and I were talking last night about how she really hasn't had a bad dream that we can remember in the past 1 1/2- 2 weeks.
Last night at dinner, she asked her daddy if he had "bad dreams when he was a little boy too!" Then she told him again about her "worst dream was when a mean person told her that her mom and dad had died!"
She still talks about this dream and it happened a while ago.
I really would love to know what in the world causes these dreams and how to protect her from them, other than making sure she doesn't see PG movies or scary shows.....and comforting her. Of course we may have jinx our record because she woke up screaming at 5 am this morning and when daddy got her, she said she needed to go potty and put her pj's on.
She fell asleep within minutes from leaving papaw's birthday party last night so we just put her to bed in her clothes. Once she was awake she asked if it was morning time yet and we told her no it was time to sleep a little and sleep she did until it was time to get ready to go her last tumbling class. She had a full day yesterday with a playdate, and lunch out with her buddy, a trip to the grocery store, and of course celebrating Papaw's birthday!
