So last night I awoke at 2 a.m. to the sound of Jenna yelling and crying something that I couldn’t make out. I was sure she had to go potty and was just panicking (lately she’s been sleeping all through the night without having to go though--PROGRESS, YES!) Anyway, as I opened her door, suddenly what she was shouting became very clear:
“I WANT MY LUNCH!!!! I WANT MY LUNCH!!!!”
She was hysterical. Like, tears were rolling down her face. Was I hearing right?
I asked, “Jenna, honey, did you say you want your LUNCH?”
She was clearly half-asleep, but she adamantly replied, “Yes!”
I said, “Oh Jenna, you’re having a dream! It’s okay!”
And I stroked her forehead and she calmed down and fell right back to sleep.
So... while I hate seeing my child wake up crying from a nightmare, I’ve got to say it makes me feel a lot better that this is the scariest thing her little mind could come up with. No lunch, huh. Kinda sends shivers down my spine, too...

I hated when my kids woke up having a bad dream. We have had sunflower bad dreams and earwig bad dreams and monster bad dreams. I don't recall having a lunch bad dream. But when I don't get food, it is a bad dream!!!
How cute is that? I feel like screaming and crying too when I don't get my lunch, so that IS a nightmare! My bad dreams usually consist of horrible deaths...much more morbid. Gotta cut down on all that TV - it's the media's fault, like everything else!
Poor thing! At least it wasn't a scary monster dream or something. I always hate waking up to my children screaming for me. It scares me to death. Tucker would gets nighttares really bad. He started getting them at 6 months. It's terrible.
How cute! I think I would have started laughing! Sad though of course! At least you know what her nightmares are about...Conner just screams and it's so sad!
