Fighting for Fig Newtons

Here is a funny story I just had to share....

Last night at around 2:00 am I hear this really loud scream...."NOOOOOOO, No" coming from the monitor that is in Benjamin's room. I quickly come awake and start to panic as this is not something that Benjamin does often. Usually when he is asleep we don't hear a peep from him. So, I go running down there to soothe him and find out what is wrong. I go in and ask him what the problem is and he says in this little voice in the dark, "That guy ate my Fig Newton". I ask him if someone from preschool ate his fig newton today and he says, "No, it was that guy and he ate my Fig Newton". So as best as I can tell is Benjamin was having a dream where he is in a tussle with some strange "guy" over a prized Fig Newton....who knew those little cookies were worth fighting for? That must be some good cookie! It is funny what is a nightmare for a three year old. I must say that he settled down again pretty quickly and went right back off to dreamland with the promise of a Fig Newton in the morning. Gotta love em!
