"ladybugs are on me"

Camille hates bugs and is so scared of them. She is scared of a lot for as tough as she seems. She also calls all small bugs ladybugs.

We were up for an hour last night. With Camille. The first time we went in there she said, "there is something in my bed." She was pointing at something and since she had recently "spit up" my first thought was she had again. In my sleep haze I was afraid to investigate so I got J to do it. heheheh there was nothing there. We showed her, calmed her down and left. The second time she was still saying something was in her bed. She was pointing to the same spot. So I asked her if she wanted to put her pillow at the other end of her crib and sleep that way. She said yes so that's what we did. She still cried out a few minuets later. That time she said, "there are ladybugs in my bed." heheheh we had to laugh at this. J had went in to her but I heard her from our room. J pulled everything out of her bed to shake it out and show her nothing was there. He got her settled back down and again we got comfy in our bed in hopes that was the end of it. It was not. One more time, "there are ladybugs on me!" I went in there and she was pointing to her pillow. It is a monkey pillow case and it does have black dots on it. So I finally turned it over and put the plain side up and forcefully told her there was nothing in her bed and to go to sleep!!! It would have been soooooo easy to bring her in bed with us and I am sure we would have not spent an hour trying to get her to sleep. I know that would be the end of us though so I resisted. Finally she went back to sleep. Wow what a night. It's neat when they start dreaming but it leads to a whole new sleep world.
