last night my 8 year old woke me up at about 3:30 after he had had a bad dream. He dreamed that all the houses in our town were on fire because of "bombs and explosions". Then his grandma was crying for help, but we couldn't get to her. Then my husband went out, but got killed. Then I went to go try to help our neighbors and my son was left alone. Then, in his dream, a bomb hit the house and he was killed.
Talked to his teacher today and she told me that the kids were discussing the Iraq war during lunch. Although I censor the news in when he's around (hard lesson learned after 9-11), he picks up things from other kids and I guess they are disturbing his sleep.
Sigh... I wonder how the first family slept last night.
