I once read an estimate of the number of particles in the universe. While I don't remember the number, it seems to me that it was less than a googol. Wikipedia has it as 10^80 (found <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe#Matter_content" rel="nofollow">here</a>), which is less than a googol. So I think it's probably safe to say that there isn't a googol anything in the universe.bekahcubedhttp://bekahcubed.menterz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103129892169944217.post-65189306074827554862010-12-20T10:20:07.630-05:002010-12-20T10:20:07.630-05:00Davene, I, too, am sorry about Shav's sleeples...Davene, I, too, am sorry about Shav's sleeplessness, but was comforted to read so many responses to your last post. I didn't know night terrors were so common. I'll be interested to read more of your posts on this topic. <br /><br />Love the questions! And am very impressed that Josiah is reading Revelation! He is really mature to ask a question of that nature at 8.

I'm sorry that is happening. I can't imagine how frightening that is for you, and also how terrifying for Shav. I don't have any experience in that area (and am not seeking any!), so I don't have any advice. I will be praying this passes quickly for your sake, but primarily for Shav's sake. I can't imagine being in that state of mind.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648805632326563495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103129892169944217.post-23308405173970326742010-12-20T08:27:09.379-05:002010-12-20T08:27:09.379-05:00I love the tree question.

He would wake up crying/screaming, not every night, but almost always only a few hours after he had gone to sleep. He would be sitting up in bed with his eyes open and look at you but you could tell he wasn't seeing you.<br /><br />I didn't ever find a way to stop the crying but I would sit by his bed until he settled, as he did seem really distressed (the crying didn't last as long as your Shav's, but he was a little older).<br /><br />One comfort is that in the morning he would have absolutely recollection of what had happened the night before, so it's not like something was frightening him and lingering in his mind afterwards.<br /><br />It only lasted about 6 months or so and then stopped as suddenly as it started.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14812640346610262141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103129892169944217.post-36217984811382289572010-12-20T03:21:15.096-05:002010-12-20T03:21:15.096-05:00Their little minds just never stop, do they!
Sorry...Their little minds just never stop, do they!<br />Sorry, I missed the last post on the sleeping issue (I was away a couple of days, so missed some blogs) - that sounds really hard. I can't really offer advice, but I will pray for you. As you say, this season will pass, but still - it's hard to cope with lack of sleep. <br />Love, Anne xHomeschool on the Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400742529025230433noreply@blogger.com
