On a sadder note, our poor little girl has begun having nightmares. She woke up a few nights ago talking about dragons in her bedroom, and a half hour later she was telling Barry about swords coming to get her. I guess this is what we get for letting her watch "Shrek" on TV Saturday night. Ever since, though, she gets so nervous about even naptime. She's afraid to fall asleep. When I say it's time, she gets real quiet and tries to think of questions to ask me. I've been going through the whole "Dragons won't come back" versus "Dragons are pretend" debate. I don't know which is more reassuring. This is all so heartbreaking for me. I let her nap with me in my bed on Monday to show her it's okay. And here I was ready to let her watch "Little Mermaid" this week...
