What a nightmare!

Domingo has been waking up crying in the middle of the night a few times these past few weeks. We suspected he was having some nightmares but he's usually too out of it to tell us what's wrong and just goes right back to sleep.
Last night Domingo woke up crying again, and Chris asked him what was wrong. He said "mommy took a bite of my fruit and I didn't want her to take a bite."
Seriously?
This child is not having nightmares about monsters or being lost or getting eaten by dinosaurs, which would make sense since his crazy parents let him watch Jurassic Park and he's only 2. Don't judge! He LOVES the dinosaurs and is totally not phased by all the people eating stuff! He's like, "look mommy, that quetzalcoatlus is hungry, he wants to eat that man." Circle of life.
No, no, my son's biggest fear is that he will have to share his fruit with his mother. Or a toy with his sister, we think he was crying in his sleep about that a few weeks ago, he was mumbling something about "it's my toy!"
This may have been brought on by me a few weeks ago daring to suggest that we share the last ice-cream bar. Domingo just about lost his mind. I mean, no wonder he's having nightmares, I should be locked up.

Meanwhile, Amalia has turned into a total brute! She beats on her brother now with such glee that I almost have to laugh. He will pull a toy out of her hands, or try, and she will yank it right back, or clock him with it. She is just trying to defend herself from his constant selfish toy yanking ways! The other night she smacked Domi over the head with a big hard plastic dinosaur. Domi took it in stride, and just asked for a band-aid for his head, but it probably really hurt.


The drum stick, one of her weapons of choice.

She is such a baby-hulk. She'll get tangled in her play gym but continue to scoot along where she wants to go, just dragging it along behind her. The other day she had a trail of babygym, bjorn, and bumbo tagging along for the ride as she scooted desperately to where she heard Domi and tio James laughing and having a good time. Nothing was going to keep her from playing with those two.

So between Little Miss Smacksalot, and No-Share MacGuiliacuddy we're doing a bang up job over here.
