Elle woke up in the middle of the night crying hysterically. That's a very rare occurrence so I knew something was up. It's either she had a nightmare, which I read toddlers start getting around this age, or she's teething again (as always, if everything else fails, teething is the culprit :-P). She did not sound like she would be able to soothe herself back to sleep so I came to her room and took her to the guest room where we both slept. As soon as I laid her down beside me, she calmed down. She was just quietly laying down while hugging her teddy and holding my hand. It took her a while to fall back to sleep. She got up a couple of times, laid her head against mine and sweetly said "mama...mama". That alone made the middle of the night awakening/interrupted sleep so worth it :).
