Thea - #10
At about 2 o'clock this morning Brendan woke up scared from a nightmare...
He climbed out of bed and began to toddle to my bedroom...
As I'm a light sleeper, I heard his door and his footsteps. I immediately got out of bed and silently wandered down the corridor to meet him...
T : What's wrong baby?
B : Bad dream. There was a big monster who chased me...
He shuddered in my arms remembering it.
T : Okay, it's fine the monster's gone away now.
I lifted him up and began walk towards his room.
B : Will it come back?
T : Hopefully not...
As I went to turn the door handle on his door, Brendan nuzzled his head into my shoulder.
T : You okay?
B : The monster's in there Mama!
T : I'm sure it's not. I think the monster saw how fast you were to get away and decided that he doesn't want to be mean to you.
B : Really?
I smiled and nodded as I opened the door. I put Brendan down and he ran and jumped into bed. I think he might have been excited to see the monster again. I tucked him in and assured him once again that the monster won't hurt him again.
Within a few minutes he fell asleep...
I've never been so tired in my life...
From me and from Thea
