Peter has had 3 bad dreams over the last two weeks. He's been a little easier to calm down each time, but the first 2 required mommy or daddy to carry Pete around before he would relax.
Dream 1) We didn't get much out of him except "angry hot dog". We had pigs-in-a-blanket the night before and maybe one had been too hot? We are careful, but what else could it be?
Dream 2) Pete woke up saying "D-(name with held do to the age of the offender) took Peter's block", and he also talked about the angry hot dog again. The first part is easy. Peter got in trouble at daycare for biting D-, who had taken Peter's block. Hmm, maybe they had hot dogs at daycare and one was too hot.
The next day I was telling Tera about dream 2 (she had been in Syracuse for work) and Pete said "angry hot dog man." I burst out laughing. After I calmed down I reminded Tera about a book (Gus and the Firefly by P.D. Eastman) Pete's been "reading" on the Nook - that features a hot dog vendor that gets mad when the firefly plays a trick on him.
Dream 3) Pete woke up saying No, dogs No!, Get down dogs! Stop dogs, stop, the light is green. Even though he got the color wrong, it's Go Dogs Go, by P. D. Eastman.
At first I thought perhaps I am too animated when I read the books to Pete, but one is a "read to me" book, and I'm not that dramatic. I just think he likes to have an excuse to come in bed with us.

Poor little sweet Pete! Gramma says maybe have a conversation with Pete after you read him a story.
