Sleepless In Baltimore

Robert: Mommy & I have had some issues with sleep in the last 24 hours. I seem to be having some difficulty with nightmares. I woke up from my nap screaming bloody murder then clung to my mommy for dear life. When it came time to go to bed last night I did not want to be left alone. I screamed & screamed. When I started slamming myself into my crib mommy immediately took me back out. She let me lay down with her in my parents bed for an hour while I calmed down. I enjoyed laying in the dark with mommy & it made me very sleepy. Once I had started to drift off to sleep mommy took me back to my room & placed me in my crib. She was worried I would fall out of the big bed. What can I say? I am a mover & a shaker even in my sleep.

Mommy went to bed shortly after I was down for the count. Mommy was having bad dreams too & woke up a little after 1:30 am. She wasn't able to go back to sleep. Luckily she was already awake when I had another nightmare around 3am. I was very upset. I screamed for a good bit even after mommy picked me up & comforted me. She let me get back into the big bed for another hour then repeated everything from earlier. I was out cold so I didn't care that she put me back in my crib. She did leave my bedroom door open (baby gate locked) so I could see into my parents room if I woke up again. Thankfully I slept through the rest of the night. Mommy was able to fall back to sleep around 5am.

Both of us have been very tired today, but I still had a good time playing at Ms. Delania's house. I did have some major separation issues with mommy. I would not let her out of my sight for the first hour we were there. I would cry if she got too far away from me & make her hold me. Mommy is worried about how things will be this weekend when she has to work & I am with babysitters. I guess we will have to see what happens.
