Fears
Ellie has started to have nightmares. Twice this week she woke up in tears and yelling, "Bugs!" When I tuck her in for nap time she inspects her room. Dirt on the stairs, the odd shape of a sock in dim light, or a little feather on the floor cause a panic. This week in play group (the morning after her first nightmare) I heard Ellie crying. I asked her buddy, Max, why she was crying. He retrieved a HUGE plastic grasshopper and showed how he ran it up Ellie's back and through her hair! This was a minor set back, but she was playing with the grasshopper in no time at all and the experience probably ended up being more helpful than harmful. We've been talking a lot about bugs and how they are harmless, but Ellie isn't sold.

Poor thing! The video is too cute! I think Matthew's was mostly fever-induced when he had the flu but he woke up crying saying there were monsters in his room three nights in a row. We had to inspect the room, under the bed, in the closet plus he had to sleep with Flicker, the flashlight from Handy Manny.
