New Bed

Well, we put a new bed into our bedroom and offered it to Alyosha to sleep on...he was excited because it had the cool car sheets that he picked out himself and he really wanted to go to bed. An hour later we found him on the floor where the other bed used to be.....and a couple of hours later he was in between Roma and I....But the second night he didn't join us until 7 in the morning!

Well, that was the first two nights…now I think that we have done something that will traumatize him for the rest of his life. Under our bed is a great storage place, so while rearranging the room, we had to move all the stuff stored under the bed. Included in that storage was a pair of Tasmanian devil house shoes, and somehow one got left behind under Alyosha’s new bed. So, this evening he was laying in his bed and then started saying that he was afraid of the scary dog under his bed… and, as usual, I told him that it was just pretend and he should just go to sleep. About 30 minutes later, he comes slinking out of the room like a little caterpillar covering his eyes with his hands ( I can only assume that he was covering his eyes because he thought that he would be hiding from me and I wouldn’t be able to see him if he covered his eyes…I thought the same when I was little) He said that he was afraid of the scary dog…so I went into the room to ‘get rid’ of this pretend scary dog. I asked him where it was and he pointed to the end of the bed…when I looked under there I was frightened! Poor little guy will probably be traumatized for the rest of his life and really think that monsters, or at least scary dogs live under the bed! I guess we will find out in 20 or so years the terrible affects we have scarred our kids with…
