Leif just had a nightmare or night terror or something that seemed to take him forever to wake up from, though realistically it was probably more like 5-10 minutes (which really is an awful long time in terms of trying to wake someone). I moved him from where he was sleeping on the big bed to his own bed, and he started crying and kicking and generally throwing a fit, and wouldn't snap out of it completely until we took him out and drove him around in the car with the light on for a while. And Beeb was throwing a fit too, because this all disrupted her when she was trying to go to sleep.

For a while they were both being so inconsolable that I worried we'd need to take them to the ER.

Now both of them are finally asleep again, Leif with the help of My Neighbor Totoro, which he apparently finds as comforting as I do. And I'm feeling suddenly drained myself, which may be not so suddenly, because it's now 11:00, and when I last looked at the clock and thought how awake I felt and how nice it was that both kids were going to sleep so early, it was around 9:30.

*yawn*

My Neighbor Totoro is one of the greatest movies ever made, for kids or otherwise. Leif has good taste in movies :)
