Sophie's Nightmares

People always ask how Aspen is sleeping through the night, and I reply "my two year old doesn't sleep through the night yet, so I don't expect the baby to either".  Sophie wakes up between one and eight times a night with nightmares.  Some times she screams, other times she quietly cries or whimpers.  But Isaac and I usually have to get up a couple times each night to calm her down.  Some times Sophie tells us what her dreams are about and they are hilarious.  Here are a few of the ones she has shared with us:

• "Doug (her stuffed horse) ate a frog."
• "There's a mouse on the window."
• "Crocodiles are eating my tummy."
• "Wolves are eating me."  (Lots of her dreams involve getting eaten by various animals.)
• "There are trolls outside in the snow."
• "Somebody poured water on my head."
• "I didn't share Doug with Lucy."
