Bella had a nightmare and it was bad.

It was so scary I was scared.

She even peed in her bed she was so scared.

I heard her crying – “Kaycob! I want Kaycob!”

Then she cried, “Papa – I pee pee in my bed … whaaaaa!”

I asked her if she had a bad dream and she said yes. I asked her what.

She had a dream about Jacob being tied up by a bad man. And Jacob pinched the man and ‘him’ died. I asked, who died? The bad man died and ‘Kaycob’ ran away.

Why is she having a dream about Jacob being tied up?

And it just hit me.

Right before they went to bed I told Jacob to give me his Valentine’s necklace and to make sure there were no strings or yoyos by their bed or on their bed because it could tangle them and choke them. I was a bit paranoid last night because Liza and I were talking about a friend of a friend’s kid who was strangled by curtain strings only 2 minutes after the mom went to answer the phone. This freaked me out so I made sure nothing ‘stringy’ was around their beds.

Hmmm… maybe that’s where the tied up scenario was sprung.

Anyway, I had to check on Jacob, and I checked the alarm, and I didn’t have a good sleep.

She couldn’t sleep after the dream – it was 10:30. We stayed up till 12:30 when she finally turned around and stopped talking.
