On wheels, on oil, on ice -

Whoops, don't spill it.

I actually thought we'd be skipping the anniversary-related anxiety this year with the kid. No such luck. Last night we had a kid afraid of his own bed, tearful and anxious who needed a lot of rechecks before falling asleep last night.

Maybe I'll find out about that party his foster family held the day before he was given to us. I sure hope so. My kid *loves* parties - but the actual reality of his own appears to trigger some pretty awful stuff.

We checked under the bed together (and bonus points, found a kitty there), did a lot of reassuring...but at the same time, balancing that out with 'not too much, that's the wrong message to send there' - you just don't win here. So help me, I find the person who explained zombies to my kid, I keel them. Don't worry baby - the kitty will get them!

Swear to God.

This is the point in the planning where I start making lists for each day - and each day is different, and the critical levels of getting those things done THAT DAY rises exponentially.

Today, I get more crap out of my house and to the storage unit. So help me.

What would Little Boy like for his birthday? What does Mom & Dad not want Little Boy getting for his birthday?

No markers. No weapons of any kind. No superheroes. No Bakugan stuff. Um. Now, you ask him and you're going to hear all about the superhero, Power Rangers, you name it.

I'd rather have Spongebob. Also, there is an Amazon wish list I just updated: http://amzn.com/w/4RAYDBKXJU0N

I'm suggesting tilt puzzles - you know, the ones with the maze and wee little ball? Recent discovery that he just digs all to heck and breakfast.

We have been afraid of ghosts and monsters for a while. But we are satisfied by the explanation that kitties eat those.

Purring away Monsters under the Bed is a prime job for Kittehs. They're pretty good at exploding dustbunnies, too...

Heh, when I was a kid we had zombies in the attic, I was convinced. And wrote lots of stories about it. My parents, for their part, were like "oh yeah. totally. they're up there."

And now I want an attic when I grow up XD

He's too small for any monster that keeps him from going to bed. Monsters that keep him in bed might be different.
