Snakes

Emmie has nightmares every so often just like any other kid. Sometimes she gets really bad night terrors that we can't wake her up from and those suck because sometimes it can take almost an hour of her screaming and kicking and going ballistic before we can get her to come to and calm down. Last night we put her to sleep in a different room because we were hoping to be able to finally paint her room. She wasn't liking being in another room and kept telling us that she didn't want to go to sleep. She kept telling us that the snakes would get her. After telling her over and over again that there were no snakes and that she would be fine she still persisted. So finally I told her we would just make sure to include in our prayer that Heavenly Father make sure no snakes would get her and she wouldn't have any bad dreams about them either. Darren and I went to bed last night, without getting her room painted since it was then too late to do it, and we fully expected that she would probably have a nightmare about snakes since she was talking about them before bed. Luckily we weren't waken up during the night so that was nice. Darren was here when she woke up this morning and was talking to Emmie and said, "you slept well last night huh?" and she said "yep Heavenly Father helped me and then I said, thanks so much" We had a good laugh at the cuteness of that. Maybe we'll just have to make specific prayers more often so she can sleep better every night.
