What frightens a 20-Month Old?

Molly and MooseMy daughter is not a crying baby. She fusses now and then, hates having her hair combed, and has a littany of other issues, mostly the normal ones, but she just doesn’t cry very much. So when she does, I pay attention.

Two nights ago, after being extremely tired early in the evening, obviously bucking for an early bedtime(another abberration with her, she likes going to bed), she conked out very early, even for her. Then 30 minutes later awakes into a full out crying fit. Huge clear tears ran down her cheeks, and her breath started and stopped in her throat as she let out heart breaking sobs, even as she rocked in the chair with mommy.

We rocked her, then walked her back and forth for nearly twenty minutes before she was completely past whatever made her cry. When I was able to lay her down on our bed and make her giggle, I breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at her amazing face, wishing she could tell me what had been wrong, what makes a little girl cry? more
