It seems that Caroline's imagination is starting to run wild. This week at nap and bed time she has requested such books as "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, "Where are the Monsters?" (a cute little open the flap book with pink fuzzy monsters) and "Birthday Monsters" by Sandra Boynton (again, cute little fuzzy monsters are involved). Now, for the last two days when she is downstairs in the living room, she'll run down the hallway and come back to me and say, "Mommy, there is a monster in that hole!". WHen I ask her "Where?" she points towards the front door. Yesterday Brett even went on a "Monster Hunt" with her and even looked under the door mat, but no monsters were found in "the hole". When Brett said there are no monsters under the mat, she ran to the window and said, "THere outside then!" So Brett and Caroline opened the front door and yelled, "Boo!" and scared the monsters away.
Yesterday morning when she first woke up, we heard her on the moniter say, "No you monsters! You go away right now!" SHe wasn't scared though, just saying very confidently and matter-of-factly.

oh man! i just wrote this long comment, and was told to "sign up" first! crap! my typing is so slow to begin with.
anyway, what i said before was that i thought the monster thing was so funny. cameron took out several books from the library, all monster, and couldn't get through half of them. after the first or second page, the particular monster would be too scary...he'd close the book and make me take it back to the library. he also see's monsters any where it is dark...outside, in donna's chute, in the basement, etc..
a woman and her grandson were also at the library with us, and said her grandson picks the same monster book out every and acts like it is the first time he is seeing it. and that its been the same for months!!!
