Psychotomy

A week or so ago, DK went to bed, slept for an hour, then woke up screaming his head off with nightmares :( We soothed him, gave him some tylenol in case it was teething pains or growth pains or something, and let him watch some muppets before going back to bed.

Friday night it happened again. About an hour after going to sleep, he woke up screaming and inconsolable. he’d cling to one of us for a while, settle a bit, then start up again and change people. Eventually we got him to calm enough that I took him back to bed.

During the night, he woke up 3 more times screaming briefly. But since I was right there now, he just clutched at me, buried his head in my sternum for few moments and fell back asleep. I on the other hand ended up spending the entire night in a somewhat awkward and uncomfortable position and paid for it all weekend. But I wasn’t going to move him.
