Pictures of Mommy

My big boy has now spent 2 nights in his new bed. Last night I snuck in his room after he fell asleep and he was curled up like a cat at the end of his bed wrapped in his quilt and looked just as he did as a newborn baby. So sweet!

Tonight I tucked him in and he goes, "Mommy, I'm scared."

"Of what?"

"Monsters," he said sadly. WHERE did he get this notion as I have never even mentioned that word to him before.

"There are no monsters."

He pointed behind him to the closet. "In there," he said.

"All that's in there are your shoes and coats. Plus, Elmo's a monster, did you know that? And he's your friend."

"Mmmmm...." he was unconvinced.

"And, Mommy's right outside this door and would never let anything hurt you, okay?"

Well, he said that bringing out the camera and letting him take pictures would make him feel better (he plays me like a fiddle!) so I acquiesed...


He wanted to take a picture of me but still has not quite mastered the centering of an object...

So I bent down to try to get in the square...

Next up: Lm!! We've got a lock for his bedroom door from the outside now (for fear of him escaping into the winter night--he WOULD do this) so soon he will transfer to his big boy bed also. Stay tuned!
