Feels like deja vu...
Okay so I thought maybe after we went through the "fire" worries with Cole 2 yrs ago that we would be done with it... Boy was I wrong!! Todd & I talk all the time with the kids about what to do if there is a fire and they understand everything. Zoe was scared at school the other day when they had a practice fire drill, but that did not prepare us for what we experienced last night with her. When it was time to go to bed... Zoe started crying and saying that she didn't want to go to bed because what if there was a fire?? She didn't want to sleep next to Cole... she wanted to be in bed with mom & dad... and she wanted us to go to bed right then and there. Of course we gave in as we believe this is only a one night thing... I laid in bed with her for about 30 minutes and it was probably the longest 30 minutes of my life. Every couple of minutes her eyes would pop open and she would ask what that noise was... I responded that it was the tv in the living room... She tossed and turned all night and said that she dreamt about a fire. She is worried to go into dark rooms or even rooms by herself after all of this talk... So tonight we will be doing a practice fire drill at home and hopefully that will ease all of the worries.
