Tonight, he when he woke up shortly after bedtime, I reassured him by telling him that God gave Mama's special hearing. When a Mama has a baby her new hearing turns on and she can hear everything. I told him if he was down the street I would hear him, if he was in another town I would still hear him if he needed me. And I would come to get him right away.
He said, "Oh! You're a Mama Hawk!"
I wish I could take credit for educating the boys about the special hearing abilities of Hawks, but that credit goes to Diego. Either way, I was impressed with his connection. And it made him feel much better that I was a Mama Hawk instead of regular ol' me. So he drifted calmly off to sleep. I just hope he sleeps well and those Hawk abilities help keep the bad dreams away (***knock wood***)
I remember those days of bad dreams and monsters in the closets when you and your brother were that age.
ReplyDeleteI used to have to send Dad in to check out the room to make sure it was safe!
Hope the blanket and angel cream work. Don't worry too much he will be in another phase soon.
