Bad Dreams

Both the boys are asleep...time for afternoon nap. After about 30 minutes of sleeping Gabriel started whimpering and crying. It lasted about 30 seconds to a minute and then it was done. I guess he was having a bad dream. It's horrible though, being a mom and knowing that something is upsetting your child, even in their sleep. I just wanted to go cuddle him, let him know there's someone there that loves him and cares about him. In truth though I know it's just a dream and it's over and done with and he's fine. I think I'm a little defensive of my children.
