I was 9pm and Elliott had already woken up and didn’t want to be alone. He is really struggling with being alone. He climbed down the stairs and up onto the couch to snuggle with us. As he was climbing up onto the couch Lizze reached out her arms for him and he jumped away saying “it’s my shirt”. Then he avoided her and climbed up next to me. She was trying to give him a hug. He was clearly still half asleep. This nightmare must have really been a weird one…

I got Elliott in bed after the movie and no sooner did I come down the steps then Emmett started screaming. So Lizze just took that as the end of the night call. I’m waiting for close to finish in the wash so I can throw them into the dryer. Then I’m going to go to bed so I can get some sleep before Elliott gets up again.

Edit: I spoke to soon. Elliott is up again.
