LO has been waking up at least a few times a week from naps lately screaming and not seeming to understand where he is or what is going on. Generally he wakes up a little fussy but laughs at me when I walk in. It just seems different from when he was younger and needed to be soothed back to sleep which BTW never worked for him. The only thing I've found that breaks his trance is taking him out in front of a very bright window and really waking him up.

I can't tell whether he's just upset about waking up at the wrong time or he had a bad dream or what. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
