Nightmares/Night Terrors

Isaiah has been having these the past few weeks. He wakes up (sometimes...sometimes he is still asleep) and screams for Mama, Mama. Sometimes I can calm him down and he will go back to sleep. But other times he wants to get up! And it is usually 4:30 in the morning.

I don't let him scream and cry because he is obviously scared about something. Also...we don't want him to wake up Hope who is now our sleeper!

So has any else experienced these?? And is there anything you did that helped them go back to sleep?? We have tried rocking him, putting him in our bed or back in his crib and nothing seems to work. Hopefully these will pass soon.

Talia had nightmare where she was really scared. Different from when you try to keep everything quiet and dark and get them quickly back to sleep, we would do the opposite. Wake her up all the way, have a small snack, wash her face with warm water, talk a bit, pray or sing, then go back to sleep. We will pray!!
