Nightmares

We think Eli has hit the stage where he has nightmares. He wakes in the night sometimes and yells, "No, No, No!"

Tonight, I asked him if he wanted to read the book, "There's a nightmare in my closet" by Mercer Mayer. Eli has always liked that book and thought it was funny. Tonight he said he didn't want to read it: "Too scary," he said. He also said that nightmares try to come in his room at night. I told him that only Mama, Dadda and Zula would go in his room at night. But he said, "Sometimes I hear noises and it's scary."
