Emma's been going through another developmental quantum leap recently, with lots of new language and - very exciting - learning how to play make believe and pretend. We're a little in awe of the fact that her brain has developd to the point that she can now make up stories and scenarios and games that exist only in her imagination (as opposed to reporting things she has seen). And after several weeks of increasingly complex imaginative play, it is official.
Emma's room has monsters in it.
We found this out at around 3 this morning when we were cuddling our kid as she told us in long, winding sentences all about the scary monsters and how they were eating straberries and crackers in the corner of her room, and playing with the tiger. We tried shooing them away (like we taught Emma to do with flies in Australia) but apparently to no avail.
Parents of older kids have warned us that once monsters move in, it can take years for them to move out again. So, here we go.
Just as we were enjoying a full night of sleep. :(
