The Nuts Aren't Falling Too Far From The Tree........

This morning I ended up with McKaylie and Noah in bed with me. McKaylie will come in sometimes when she's had a bad dream, but I don't know what brought her in early this morning. Shortly after she came and got in bed with Noah and I she went back to sleep, and so did I. However, shortly after that she woke up hollering like she was scared and telling me that there was a spider in the bed and that it was crawling on Noah's back. I looked around a little, but I was sure she was just dreaming more than anything. I got her to calm down and lay back down. She then told me that it was really scary and she first saw it crawling on my pillow and then it crawled on Noah. I told her I didn't think it was real, but she decided to go back to her own bed anyway.

I laughed a little and remembered a time that Chad told me about. He was back in high school and had woken up and knew there was a spider in his bed (he doesn't like spiders) and he tore his whole bed apart looking for this spider and then realized that he had probably dreamed it.

Chad is a sleep walker/talker. The stories go way back about Chad walking/talking in his sleep. I have crazy stories about his sleep walking/talking and so does his parents. He doesn't walk in his sleep very often now, but he will talk in his sleep. Over the past few years I've noticed with all my children, that they've all taken on this trait, not to the same level as Chad did, but they all do it. So far, Myshel is probably the worst about it. I wonder if that's because she's older and the others will follow suit. Anyway, I get a laugh out of it, most of the time, and it's proof that the nuts don't fall far from the tree, at least their father's tree!
