Afraid of the dark?

M.Amy

I think Matt is afraid of the dark. When he wakes up from his afternoon nap and it is dark out he freaks out - it takes him about 20 minutes to get back to his normal happy state. Last night he napped until 6pm and had a really hard time calming down.

At night we leave the light on in his room on a dimmer so there is a little light but since it is still light out when he goes down for a nap his nanny doesn't turn lights on.  

Does it seem like that is why he wakes up so upset?

Could be, have her start using the dimmer and see if he stops waking upset.

Do you have a little night light? I have one in Betty Jane's room that I leave on all the time. I remember when I was little that I always loved having a night light.
