Nightmares

Anyone else going through this??

Lately Brooke seems to be getting nightmares...and on a nightly basis.

We finally got Caroline sleeping through the night and now Brooke is up night after night....running into our room in hysterics. It can range from a lion outside the window to a monster anywhere in her room. We have re-assured, showed her that no one or thing is anywhere in her room and that she is totally safe. Sometimes this works. Other times-no dice. The only thing she wants to do is lay with mom & dad until she feels better. I am totally ok with the occasional snuggle session in bed, but every night?? Suggestions are welcome :) How long do these night terrors last??!!

I still think there are monsters under my bed. Are there not?

Lannah started getting scared in her room in the middle of the night at about the same age. The pediatrician said that it was normal at that age. We ended up puting blankets and pillows on the floor in our room and when she gets scared she comes in and sleeps on our floor. At least she doesn't wake us up. Now I don't know how we are going to handle that when the new baby comes...maybe she will get sick of the crying and she will just stay in her room.
