Oh! I jinxed it
Woke up tonight 10.30pm, shaking and crying - terrified. Gave him a big hug, asked what was the matter, he couldn't tell me. Asked if he'd had a bad dream - he said 'yes'. Does he know what that means?
He was sooooo upset, I took him downstairs for some warm milk and an episode of In the Night Garden, seemed to calm him. Now it's half past midnight, he's in his cot struggling to get to sleep, and I'm at my post on my bed, with the door open - he was VERY insistent I didn't leave him alone.
