Monsters in the Bedroom

Well it is one of those nights that I can't get back to sleep. A Chinook is coming in and woke me up but nobody else. THANK GOD!!!!!! Every time the wind blows in the kids wake up so scared....it is all you can do to get them settled back in. They think that "monsters" have invaded their rooms. It doesn't help that the train seems to be coming through our backyard at about the same time.
I finally figured out Matthew's fear of "Monsters in his closet"
Scott usually wakes up before all of us. He takes a shower like most men folk at that time of the morning. Well......I happened to spend the latter part of last night sleeping in Matthew"s bedroom
(the winds were terrible last night too).....If anyone wants to know what I am talking about.....It sounds like something is trying to blow your house down. I am a SOUND sleeper.....you literally think you will wake up and find part of your house a few blocks away.
Anyways.....back to "monsters in the closet". I was sleeping in bed with Matthew (I know the absolute WORST thing a mother can do....spoil your child forever.....
I awoke to this very scary noise at about 7am. It started out quietly.....and then the sound of water almost coming through the walls......no wonder my son has been afraid first thing in the morning. The sound of that shower coming through his closet......no wonder he thinks the monsters live there. I have now a new realization of the way a 2 year old must conceive things. If I heard that noise and did not know what it was....it is pitch black in your room....it could only be one thing.....
MONSTERS!!!!!!!!!
