Scary Monsters - Two nights ago Taylor came out of her room around 10:30 fussing about a scary monster under her bed. I told her she needed to get daddy because that is what dad's are really good at. Well, that wasn't good enough. After dad swept the room, she still wanted mommy. So, I peeled myself out of bed and tried to "reason" with her. There were no more scary monsters in her room, daddy scared them away. Well, she informed me that I was wrong. THERE WAS a scary monster in her room. Okay fine. So, I told her about mommies secret scary monster weapon...MONSTER JUICE! Spray a little monster juice under the bed, in the closet, around the window and BAM! No more monsters. (Secret scary monster juice is really Glade Spray!) Monsters don't like that sweet smell if you didn't know. I wound up having to lay with her till she fell asleep.
The next day at nap time she was convinced that the scary monster was still under her bed. I told her that was just ridiculous because scary monsters don't come out at nap time...DUH!!! LOL! She said he was now in the wall. I convinced her that was impossible by talking to her like she had lost her mind. It worked! No worries at nap time.
Then bedtime was here again. Now the scary monster was gone and she wanted him back. "Where's my scary monster mom. I want him to lay right here by me." Really, Taylor. I told her she was outta luck because daddy ran him off and mommy sprayed monster juice she she wasn't gonna be seeing monsters for a long time. The next day we were playing with her baby dolls and she grabbed her purple puppy dog named Violet and said, "Oh, there's my scary monster. Hi monster! Come lay with me." Seriously, Violet was your scary monster...a purple puppy named VIOLET! Oh Geez Tay. LOL! How little minds work. Anyway, no more scary monster talk since. Thank goodness.
Teeth - As for Ms. Ashlyn. She's had her two bottom teeth since she was 4months old. A few weeks ago the bottom right one came thru. As Brodie was putting Ashlyn in the car on Thursday to go to the airport to fly to Chicago, he said to me, "Ashlyn's two front teeth are in!" I said, "What!" After all, I'm the mom. I get the privilege of seeing these things first. Well, not this time. Since he's crazy anyway, I went around to verify his absurd statement. Son-of-a-gun, he's right! YAY ASHLYN!!!! So, 3 teeth coming in at once. 5 total.
My little girls are growing up so fast. Maybe we should try for one more. Hmmm....maybe. ;P
