Kayla's Nightmare
She woke up at 12:30am last night crying. I rushed into her room and put my arms around her. Then I hear her through her talking to me through her tears - her is our middle of the night conversation.
Kayla - "I don't want to see the animals."
Me - "Oh honey, you don't have to see the animals."
Kayla - "But Alysa wants to see the animals. I don't want to."
Me - "Kayla. Alysa can see the animals if she wants to but you don't have to. OK?"
Kayla - "OK." (as she lays her head on my shoulder and sucks her thumb)
There is nothing more powerful for a Mom than chasing themonsters animals away.

oh, isn't that the truth! Sometimes a mama is the only thing that helps.
Very true! A Mama's hug is a very special thing. There's nothing like it.
So glad you were able to chase those monsters (animals) away so she could go back to sleep!
So sweet! It's wonderful when we really can "make it all better" by our presence alone. Those days won't last forever!!
