dream, dream, dream

My boy Sammy has had some wild ones lately. Both times he woke up crying in the middle of the night and I went in to comfort him.

He was mostly asleep and had that sweet, angel-soft, fuzzy-headed, sleepy-eyed look that kids get(somehow when we grow up it's not as cute-we just look kind of crusty, red-eyed and fuzz-brained).

In the first, he was a woodcutter, an adult woodcutter who was being chased through a dark night by angry trees... Shades of Tolkein, I wonder if he's managed to listen in to some of the Entish goings on that Daniel and I have been reading about?

In the second he was out back in our big ol' terraced backyard climbing our little willow tree, but it was a super big willow tree in the dream and his father, Jonathan, was there-apparently he lived with us(this is a nightmare-right?)and Jonathan then went in the house and closed up the door, leaving Sam outside in the dark by himself... He was pretty scared.

Oh, and his best friend, Rowan also had the bright idea to tell him about some super huge kind of spider she heard about that supposedly jumps on you(this apparently was some kind of internet hoax).

So there he was dreaming dreams of being alone in the dark and thinking about dinnerplate size spiders jumping down at him... Poor kidlet.

Fortunately, it hasn't been too hard to comfort him lately. I think the effort I put into creating superhero kitty protection for him has paid off.

He's got these two stuffed kitties that he sleeps with and I drew a little book of them utilizing their superpowers(SuperFinderKitty and SuperProtectorKitty) to tackle the nightmare issues he deals with on a regular basis.

There's nothing they can't handle. The ocean waves whisk away his favorite lego boat? No problem, the kitties have a special trick bag that they can pull superamazing machines out of-they even have a submarine in there that SFK can use to retrieve lost legos even from the maw of a giant clam on the bottom of the ocean.

Scarey Jawas? Blammo! SPK blasts them to the distant planet of Cleanitup, where the nasty Starwars badguys must wash dirty dishes for centuries.

Now all I have to do is go in and help him figure out how his superkitties would handle it and all is well.

I saw a picture of those spiders! I would believe that they are a hoax, because I have studied biology and not heard about spiders that big - under the picture of them it says Iraq - Camel spiders and has a picture of a soldier holding two of them - both are as big as his leg from knee to boot. They look real enough, but who knows?

Yeah, D says they were a hoax. Nowadays, with all the amazing technological improvements, pictures can actually lie.
