Lily doesn't wake up screaming these days, atleast not that we're aware of. Actually, I don't think I've ever recorded this information. For posterity (aka Lily when she's a mother and wondering what the freak is wrong with her kids when they wake up screaming at midnight...) For atleast a good year's time, starting when Lily was 5 and through 6 years old, Lily would wake up at night time and wail and moan cause she needed to go to the bathroom. But she was still asleep, thus didn't know how to help herself find the relief she needed. One time she was standing on her bed trying to crawl up the wall. Another time she's sleep walk (sleep run) around the upstairs dashing in and out from room to room, trying to hold it in as she cried for help. We'd take her to the bathroom, pull down her pants (in her sleepwalking state she had forgotten how to do that) set her down on the toilet, then she'd go, then we'd put her back together and she'd go back to bed. Sometimes if she fell asleep early during scripture study or while watching a movie or something, we'd wake her up to make her go, just to spare ourselves from the midnight wailing that would surely otherwise occur. It's good that she's pretty much grown out of that. (Although, her aunt said that while Lily was with them on vacation in Arizona last month, she woke up in the middle of the night when she heard the sound of the hotel room door closing. She went out to search and found Lily sleep walking and attempting to get on the elevator!)
Wesley is a funny sleeper - he usually had a pile of blankets on his head. Weird. But whatever makes him feels comphy and safe!
