No More Old Peddler Woman!

Sweet little Gracie! She has such a tender heart!
I'm not sure if she is like other children or if she is the only one who can't read "Snow White" without having nightmares. For some reason the old peddler woman has now been one of the main topics of Anna Grace's conversation for the last year or so. As a result of her infatuation with the character, she has been having nightmares very often! When she has these nightmares it is usually an all night event. She wakes up screaming every 30 minutes to 1 hour. I compare it to an awful night with a newborn. One good thing is that Madalyn isn't phased by the screaming!

Well... Robert and I have now outlawed the old peddler woman. Anna Grace is no longer allowed to speak about her, pretend to be her, or even read the original book. I think it has actually helped. She has now slept through the night two weeks in a row!!

This is also an answered prayer. I have been praying tirelessly that she would get past this ordeal!
