Things that go bump in the night

Ryan is a pretty fearless little dude. But he had his first real nightmare last night. He came to wake mommy up at 2:30 a.m., chin quivering: "Mommy. Wake up. A tractor crushed my toys." That must have been quite a dream. It took 20 minutes and two stories to get him back to sleep.

The night before, looking at picture books of animals, we started reading about a wolf. He looked up at me with his huge blue eyes full of fear and whispered, "Wolves blow down houses."
