Random Thoughts. Vivid Dreaming: 12AM Sophie wake-up call

Right when we got settled into bed, Sophie started screaming for me. Since I had already been in her room twice I sent Bob in to check on her. From our room I heard her scream

Sophie: I don’t want you. I want mommy. I don’t even like you. Go away.

Now before you think man…that’s harsh, Sophie and Bob have this volatile relationship. It’s like a love hate thing.

So I got out of bed to relieve Bob and she was crying like she had had a nightmare. I laid down with her and Bob gave me an evil look. He said that all of it was my fault because

So I yelled for Bob and told him that Sophie wanted to apologize. He grumbled about how he had just gotten comfortable and I told him to get into the room because his daughter wanted to talk to him. When he walked in Sophie started sniffling gave him a hug and said she was sorry.

Bob: It’s ok.
Sophie: Daddy, can you get me a water?
Bob: You know what? You guys really beat up on me.
Me: Move out of the way and I’ll go get it.

When I come back Sophie is laying there crying. We both keep asking her what’s wrong and she won’t say.

Me: Get up and I’ll lay down with her.
Bob: Ok. Good night baby.

After he left the room I asked her

Me: Sophie, what’s wrong baby? Why are you crying?
Sophie: Daddy snuggles with me too much.
Me: You're crying because daddy suggles with you too much?
Sophie: Yes.

So I slept in Sophie’s room last night. At 6 in the morning she woke up and said
