Addie woke up in a panic crying so hard. I hurried to her room thinking she must have fallen off the bed. I found her on her bed sobbing. I hugged her and asked what was wrong.
Addie: Glenn pulled the kitty out of the drawer and ate it?
Me: Glenn ate the kitty?
Addie: Yes
Me: Addie, it's a dream sweetie. Glenn's sleeping in his own bed.
Addie: No, he pulled the kitty out of the drawer and ate it. (voice getting stronger and more determined)
Me: Well, that had to be gross.
Addie: (Sobs harder, guess she didn't like that response)
Me: I'm sorry Addie. Mommy's here now so it will be okay.
(That calmed her a little. Hugged her for a bit and then started to leave.)
Addie: (Sobbing again) I want Daddy.
Me: He had a meeting but I'll see if he's home. Close your eyes and try to sleep.
Addie: okay
Poor girl. That was one terrifying dream.
