How old is your daughter? I had the same thing with my 2 older boys and

expect it at some time soon with my little guy. They do have some type of night

scares.

What worked for us was a thing my hubby came up with called " monster traps "

he pretends to have them in his pocket and gives my son(he is 3 but he also did

it with my 9 year old) as many " traps " as he needs. My son then places the

" traps " in all the places in his room that scare him. That helps him sleep

through the night. Maybe it would work with your daughter.

Oh, heaven. If we could get our dog and daughter under control, I

think I'd get a good night's sleep in the new bed, but one has

decided to have a complete FIT at bedtime every night, plus waking

up screaming at least once during the night (I wish she could

communicate better so I knew what was wrong...we think she's having

nightmares because she's fighting going to sleep at night, but is

fine with her naps), and the other has decided that he MUST go out

to pee at least once during the night...usually twice. I'd leave

him out there, but he's 100 lbs, and when he scratches at the door

to come in, it sounds like a bear! The patio door is on the other

side of the house, and it STILL wakes you up! Argh! Oh

well...congratulations on your good night's sleep...hope it

continues. Ahhhh, the memories...

Jane,

I love to read your posts, you always have me laughing. We all have

those times, thanks for sharing. Wow, you met Willie, and didn't

even know it, gosh:) So awesome!

Well, it's good to hear you had a good night sleep. We all like

those, when were able to get one.

My patches should be in next week, so just hangin' on. I'm really

taking it easy, so I'm getting around. It's not hurting as bad, as a

couple of weeks ago. Thanks for your prayers.

Hope all the pics come out, it will be so much fun. You will have to

download them, and share with us.

Enjoy your evening, and know that your in my prayers, Tawny

Sandie,

She's only 19 months, so she can't communicate much at all what is

wrong. My husband thinks she is having nightmares about something

because it started a couple of days after 4th of July fireworks, but

I wonder if something in her room is scaring her. She has a

nightlight, but there are still dark areas...

That, or she's just trying to get into our bed to jump on it, which

is what she did the last couple of nights we got tired of sitting

with her and brought her into our room for a bit. Grrrr.

It is one of those things that you don't want to coddle too much in

case she's manipulating you, but you don't want to be callous if

she's truly afraid. Ain't kids fun?

Greetings, Jane! Glad to hear all of your good news! Myself, I LOVE the Orient!

Thank you for getting in touch with me....let me explain...if you read my

earlier post, concerning the topic of " men " , and male bashing on t'v., I

mentioned in it how when I missed my grandfather, when he was on the road, I

would go to his closet, and grab one of his hats, and bury my face in it....his

smell was in it, and it helped me " get thru " until he came back home again, (he

was a trucker, like I was). Any way, hats are important to me, I collect them,

and when some body gives me a hat, (this may sound " dumb " ), well, I am an

incurable romantic, and that hat becomes " special " to me. What I was asking, was

if anybody would be willing to send me a hat from the area they live in. (Marina

sent me one from Las Vegas, and when ever I wear it, or hold it, it's like she's

right there! )

I have hats from people who are special to me, they mean a lot to me, and THIS

group has literally saved my life!There are so many of you that I have come to

love! Alvarez also sent me one, and Judith Ann is planning on it!I TOLD

ya it was " dumb " haha! But, see, those hats ARE special to me! They have come to

me from someone I LOVE, who at least LIKES me! haha! My address is 22 Andie

Angie Circle, Asheville, N.C. 28806.......tel. is unlisted..828-683-3144. Call

me if you ever have a need to just talk to someone quick...I am always

here..(house bound)

All my love to you, and I mean that! I Bless the Lord that I have friends such

as you!(it will be interesting to see how many of my family DOES send me a hat!

haha! I love ya, kiddo! Sleep well, and awaken pain free tomorrow!

love,

ken

Jane, WOW!! I can't remember what it's like to sleep through the

night! If it's not me waking up, it's Ron, and when he wakes up it's

usually with a screaming nigthmare. He can never remember the dream,

but it takes me a couple of hours to get back to sleep, while he rolls

over and starts snoring immediately. I'm half tempted to smack him

awake again so we can start out even! LOL

Glad your daughter is back safely, and I'll bet she is full of

wonderful stories about her trip.

Gentle hugs,
