Lately both Owen and Brandon have been a little more scared to go to bed. They are worried about monsters, dragons, bad guys and fire. Of course we tell them that Kosmo protects the house and will not let them in after all that is what puppies do! Our imaginations can get the best of us even if deep down we know there are no such things as monsters or dragons, the fire breathing flying kind anyway.
Unfortunately there is not much we can really do about bad guys but tonight when Brandon tells me he is scared a bad guy will come in the house I tell him “don’t worry Brandon daddy and Kosmo will keep you safe”. He smiles and cuddles me and it brings tears to my eyes because I know that I cannot really protect him from bad guys, at least not forever. I feel like I lied to him, although for a good reason, to help him feel secure at this moment.
Sweet dreams Brandon and Owen!
On another note, Owen has been making awesome progress in the “I gotta go…” department
later.
Here is a tip from our household…Buy some “bad guy” or “monster” spray (febreeze) and spray it under the bed or in the closets, really make the house fresh too…we also have “bad dream” spray (calgon) and I spray it in the room before bed time.
What a fantastic idea, thanks, we will have to give that a try for sure! I will let you know how that goes.
