Nightmare

2 nights ago Parker did not sleep well. He cried out twice and both times woke completely up. We took turns going in to check on him and lay down with him.

I was afraid that his ears were hurting him (knock on wood- no issue since we put tubes in), but we had gone swimming Tuesday and I was worried.

Last night Caleb and I were talking about Parker not sleeping the night before. Caleb had gone in there with him when he cried out at 6:30 and Parker told him a hippo had been chasing him.

So sad.

I wonder where these nightmares originate from?

I know this is normal for him to be doing this, but it's just an odd dream.

Needless to say, last night he slept the whole night so I guess the hippos didn't bother him.
