Ok...have you ever experienced night terrors?? I have now. Jack has been having them in a major way.
Last week at life group the kids wathced Monster Inc. ( a movie Jack loves) Well that evening he woke up terrified of the 'purple eyed monster'. He was so upset and then vomitted.
Well every night since he is scared to sleep in his room alone and wants us to sleep with him. He wakes up about every 45 minutes and screams for us. I couldn't understand how all of a sudden he was scared of monsters- he has watched that movie I don't know how many times!
Then, last night I heard him talking and crying in his sleep saying, 'NO! Get off of me. Leave me alone'
When I asked him about it he said it was Cooper. Cooper is a kid at the babysitter's who has bothered Jack for quite awhile. He is always in his face and hits him and pushes him down, according to Jack. The babysitter confirmed that yes Cooper does do all that. He often tells us he doesn't like Cooper.
I don't want to be overprotective but I also think this must be a pretty serious thing for Jack to be so upset about it. Oh yeah- and he also wet the bed last night after his nightmare...
Any suggestions?? My desire is so protect my child but not to over react. Is this just a phase or...? I don't know.
It's hard to see your kids going through a hard time and not being able to help.
I know these pictures are far back (double click to view larger)but I didn't want him to see me taking them. I wanted them to be as natural as possible. You see he is learning to pump when he swings. He started doing this the other day when I took him to the park. Of course I squealed with delight at my big boy! When I asked him who taught him how to do that he told me Mimi(his babysitter), Ryleigh and his best friend Chet did.
