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?

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.
