Poor Annika woke up in the middle of the night crying. I believe this was the 3rd time I got up with her, so it may have taken me a little while until I heard her this time since she was already on her way to get me this time. She had a bad dream. She told me all about it, repeating these things over and over...
That guy hurt me.
He did it on purpose.
He poked my eye.
He pushed me right here.
That guy needs to go in time out!
I need to go tell Nolan!
She was very upset. It was a little cute though. I snuggled her close and assured her that "that guy" was in time out. She could tell Nolan about it in the morning, he was still asleep. I was prepared to have her sleep with me the rest of the night...at that point I was too tired to make her go to her bed. But, after a little bit, she said she was ready to go back to her princess bed. She slept the rest of the night. Thank goodness!

Ahhhhh. Bless her heart. What a blessing that she's able to communicate what's bothering her now! It's really quite a miracle, isn't it, verbal language.
