Nightmare

Last night we took Ben to Micheals craft store, while we were there Doug showed Ben something that completely freaked him out! The store is already for Halloween! Doug showed Ben a skeleton that moved around and made sounds, and then walked him around the rest of the Halloween display. Ben completely freaked out. I was in the front of the store and I could hear him scream like he was right next to me. Later that night, Ben woke up at about 11:00 pm, just screaming, and shaking like a leaf. He would not go back to sleep. I brought him into our bed, he kept cuddling into Doug and would not move. If we tried to move him he would claw into Doug. Needless to say we didn't sleep at all last night. Then today he would not take a nap because he was so scared. This is definitely a first for Ben, he has really never showed fear like this before. I pray that he sleeps tonight, cause I am not a happy person without sleep.

Oh bummer, my kids start having nightmares at about that age. NO FUN! I remember Liberty had a nightmare about spiders one night and then came to sleep with us the rest of the night. For about an hour she kept sitting up, staring at the ceiling and then watching something come down from the celing-she was so freaked out. Hope he forgets enough to sleep good soon!

Let the fun begin! That sounds like Jaden's first Halloween store experience! We had to cover his eyes and run to the children's costumes so he would stop freaking out! Hopefully Doug isn't like Jordan and gets a kick out of it and enjoys showing him 'scary' things!!
