Buzzing Bees

Last night Daniel had his first nightmare - or at least the first one I know about.

I woke up at 11:49 pm to the sound of his voice on the monitor, "Mommy! There's bees in here! Mommy! There's bees in here!"

I jumped out of bed, but before I even got to his room, he was high-tailin' it out of there with blankets, teddy bear, and pillow in hand. I picked him up quickly and said, "What's wrong?" He said, "Mommy! There's bees in my room!" I said, "Baby, it's okay. That was just a dream. You're okay. You're okay." He said, "No! I saw them! They were in there!"

It took me awhile to convince him that there were no bees and to lie back down in bed. I tried to explain that it was a dream and that it was all in his head, but I don't think he quite understands that abstract reality just yet! He kept saying this morning, "No bees are coming out of my head right now, Mommy."
