Nora woke up in the middle of the night… chatting and then sobbing. I was watching TV and rushed in to console her, which usually works, but not last night. She kept on crying and crying.

When we came back from the bathroom and Jules switched the light on, I told her to lie down and she refused. She kept pointing to the cupboard and sobbing.

Were there terrifying, tricky creatures in the cupboard like the ones in the Charlie and Lola book?

She did calm down eventually and I read ‘Fix It Duck’ to her and she then fell into a restless sleep.

Poor little mite.
