The dinosaur keeps biting my pants!

Levi has night terrors, which basically means that my little guy talks, screams and wakes at night, all without REALLY waking up. I hear the funniest things when this happens (on the night when it's not blood-curdling screams)

Tonight, about 1:30AM he told me that we needed to get back into the classroom. So, I said, okay, we're back in, it's ok. And he calmed (while I scratched his back). These night terror times are usually accompanied by leg pains, or intense itching on his part)

Then, at about 2:15, he was down stairs, he started to cry out, then asked me to itch his hip because "The dinosaur keeps biting my pants!"

SPD, night waking, intermittent screaming and all, I love my little snuggler - But would someone please tell the dinosaurs to bite someone else's pants? This momma need some sleep!

Poor little guy! And they always taught us that dinosaurs were carnivores or herbivores . . . guess we should add clothes-a-vores to the list.

Glad to be reading your blog, Erika. Thanks for sharing the story of your family and for your courageousness in the face of inexplicable heartache.
