Thing 3 has a new sleeping arrangement following a dream episode last week. He woke up screaming one night, terrified of bumble bees. He spent the remainder of that night in our bed. Which means we got even less sleep than normal with his squirming and kicking.
The next night the dreams came again, and this time he spent the remainder of the night on the floor in our room. At least we all could get a decent night sleep that way.
The next night, before bed, I had a long conversation with Thing 3 to try to ease his fears. I explained that dreams are not real, like watching TV. The way to stop a dream is to just wake up because then it’s gone. And I told him about the “magic” toys in his room that will protect him from dreams, something that worked well with Thing 2.
He wasn’t really buying it. Instead I got a barrage of questions as only Thing 3 can unleash. What are dreams? Where are they during the day? Why do dreams come when I sleep? Do you have dreams? How about animals?
The questioning went on like this for a good 10 minutes. Then he decided he couldn’t sleep in his room because dreams are hiding there, so he found a spot in the hallway just outside his doorway. He has been sleeping in this spot for a week now.
Well, I’m not sure I understand the logic, but he sure looks peaceful!!
Very nice post sir i am your fan. i read your written post everyday.
The paragon of unidnstanderg these issues is right here!
This bread looks so good, I wish I could just grab a loaf. The bulgur sounds like a fantastic idea (I've never had bread made with bulgur before)!
Me encanta la falda, qué bonita! Estás preciosa y muy elegante! A mi me gustan más este tipo de looks porque los vestidos muy de fiesta no los uso, nosotros hacemos comidas y cenas familiares en Navidad y nos arreglamos, pero más con un estilo asà que se puede aprovechar en más ocasiones que con vestidos de noche.Un saludo,
