Trunk or Treat

I think I have this Trick or Treat thing down.


In the bouncey house.

I cannot tell you how wonderful it is for Mike and I to see our daughter act so independent. She was walking up to the cars at our church's trunk or treat and just acting like she knew what she was doing. Too cute!

Then she just walked right up to the bouncey house and begged to get in. We thought she would want out immediately....NOPE. She walked right in there and started jumping like she owned the thing...too cute.

So, I guess you are thinking this is great. Well, the snapshot that I described would indicate that huh? What you do not see is the anxiety of this week and the week before. Any type of over stimulation (good - the zoo or bad - eye doctor) causes nightmares and night terrors. Within these two weeks Hannah had nightmares 10 out of the 14 nights. Mike and I are exhausted. I know this is having some kind of negativity on her as well. Goodness, it makes you feel bad for putting her in situations that she becomes anxious. What is a mom to do?
