Frightening

Midnight comes, and suddenly we are wakened by the sound of Benjamin screaming. Mark jumps out of bed and goes to Ben's room. I can hear him crying, "Mommm-meeeee! Mommm-meeeee!" Moments later I have my now-19-month old in my arms and I realize he's not even awake.

By 12:30 everyone is back in their own beds, asleep. All except me, of course. I'm laying here wondering what the hell just happened. This is the third or fourth time we've been wakened like this in the past six months.

Can a 19-month old have nightmares?
